Resumen del Editor

It's Christmas many years ago, and topping young Hannah Swensen's wish list is becoming the go-to baker in Lake Eden, Minnesota. But as Hannah finds out, revisiting holiday memories can be murder....

With her dream of opening The Cookie Jar taking shape, Hannah's life matches the hectic December hustle and bustle in Lake Eden - especially when she agrees to help recreate a spectacular Christmas ball from the past in honor of Essie Granger, an elderly local in hospice care. But instead of poring over decadent dessert recipes for the merry festivities, she instantly becomes enthralled by Essie's old notebooks and the tale of a woman escaping danger on the streets of New York.

Hannah's surprised by Essie's secret talent for penning crime fiction. She's even more surprised when the story turns real.

As Hannah prepares to run a bakery and move out of her mother's house, it'll be a true miracle if she can prevent another yuletide disaster by solving a mystery as dense as a Christmas fruitcake....

How It Began

I loved hearing how The Cookie Jar started, and the “diary mystery” thread was emotional and riveting. I enjoy all the daily details and especially the recipes in the series.

One of my favorites by Fluke.

The sub plot is well thought and engaging.
The delivery, however, does not hold to Suzanne Toren’s usual quality, especially towards the end of the novel. In some scenes Hannsh sounds like a man, while Annie sounds like a bird.

Start of series

It was interesting to see Hannah at a younger age, & I am going to try some of the recipes.

Loved it

The story was well written and flowed smoothly. I like the recipes breaks as well.

Best book of the series What will be next?

I enjoyed more than any of the other Joan Fluke Hannah Swensen series. Can’t wait to see what is next.

Enjoyable story

I thoroughly enjoyed. I hated that it ended. That was a great story line inside the story.

The Rest of the Story

Fun story that gives us the background of how the Cookie Jar came to be.

bah humbug!!!

don't know if it's thestory line. or the reader but these books are v ery hard to f inish. story had no rymn or reason. and narrator voice reminded me of. fing er nails on a chalk board.

Why are we going backwards??

I am wondeeing if she doesn’t know how she is going to deal with the current situation. Why else would we have a story that is written in the past?

I started this book wanting to see the story progressed from the last book, and to see what what is going to happen. So, as this book doesn’t do that, I was disappointed.

Going Back in Time

I pretty much stopped listening to/reading the Fluke books once Hannah married - just didn't work for me. This book transports the reader to earlier times. Just didn't "hit it" for me.
