Praise for Cream Puff Murder |
|
"Cream Puff Murder" Joanne Fluke's 11th
mystery featuring the sleuthing small-town Minnesota baker,
Hannah Swensen, enters the hardcover fiction list at #12
this week. Unfamiliar with this leading exemplar of the
"Culinary Mystery" genre? Think of it as "The Silence of
the Lambs" for the snickerdoodle set, with lots of recipes
thrown in.

PW Review:
"Filled with juicy scandal, delightfully eccentric characters and 21 tempting recipes from Cream Cheese Frosting to Lemon Fluff Jell-O, bestseller Fluke's 10th Hannah Swenson mystery (after 2007's Key Lime Pie Murder) centers on a family reunion that turns deadly. Hannah's friend Marge Beeseman is thrilled when her brother, Gus Klein, who disappeared from Lake Eden, Minn., more than 30 years earlier, unexpectedly arrives. At the big family party, everyone wonders how the elegant, well-dressed Gus heard about the reunion and why he came back. When Gus fails to show up for the group photo the next morning, Hannah finds his body on a pavilion floor—with ants crawling around pieces of her carrot cake nearby. Hannah's malcontented cat, Moishe, and flickers of romance with her devoted dentist and the no-less attentive local police chief add spice to the subsequent murder investigation. The ending will leave cozy fans gasping for breath. (Mar.)
