Carrot Cake Murder

I love the characters and the story line great book

Review of Carrot Cake Murder

This is my fourth book. It dragged on a bit but still a good series.

Stop all the recipes

Would you try another book from Joanne Fluke and/or Suzanne Toren?

I like the mysteries themselves even though I struggle with Hannah's character. The only edge to her is her irritating parts like lack of style in her dress or house, etc. but what drives me really nuts is the whiny voices for some of the characters and all the recipes. If you are listening to an audiobook it is not fun when you have to listen to yet another not so great recipe for some unhealthy old fashioned casserole or another cookie. A little goes a long ways. I don't want a cook book. I won't finish the series because it's irritating but I do enjoy the storyline for the most part

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

most - the plot and characters
least - the stupid recipes

How could the performance have been better?

the higher pitched voices are not appealing after a while they grate on you.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

no

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Another visit to Lake Eden. I really enjoyed spending time in the Cookie Jar Cafe. It’s like that comfy sweater you can’t wait to wear. You become part of the community. Good story told well. Just what I want in a cozy.

Ok....

the more I listen to this book the more unrealistic it is. these are some of the most tolerable people I've ever met. you are that agreeable when being questioned by Hannah even when she believes you're a suspect. then Normaj goes out of town to investigate and people he's never met they just open by to him. yeah ok

Light Entertainment

I've enjoyed listening to this mystery solved by Hannah Swenson. Joanne Fluke weaves a tight story.
It is a light, entertaining story peppered with loads of recipes. I've read other books by this author in paperback edition. In those cases I was able to try out the included recipes with little trouble.
What I haven't enjoyed is trying to figure out how to copy a recipe without listening to an entire section of the book again.

Tasty Cozy Mystery

I've long been a fan of this series, and Carrot Cake Murder does not disappoint. When Uncle Gus reappears in town for a family reunion, some thirty years after disappearing without a trace, people in town notice. Is it really him? Or an imposter? Everyone is stunned when Gus is found dead the next day. Urging Hannah to investigate, the family is wondering who could have stabbed Gus . . . with something that appears to have been an ice pick. No one uses ice picks anymore . . . so who, what, where? Excellent mystery . . . and an ending well worth the wait.

Carrot cake Murder

Very good. Can’t wait to the movie on this Friday May 19. Ok good book

Love

I love this one so much, lots of mystery and action, a little more unusual that some of the other books in this series

A nice cozy mystery

A cat, some delicious sounding recipes, and a cozy mystery . . . What more could a retired librarian ask for? This is my first Hannah Swenson Mystery novel. This particular book is number 10 in the series. I never felt that I missing out on anything while reading it so I think it can be read out of sequence.
