Christmas
Cupcake Murder
continues on with the stories behind cookie and cupcake baker
Hannah Swensen. Hannah always seems to get herself caught
up in mysteries in her small town. This time, the mystery
is trying to figure out what is behind this stranger who has
arrived and who does not seem to recall who he is. After he
almost loses his life, Hannah is more determined than ever
to find out who is behind the man who thinks his name is Joe.
It
is always helpful to read the other books in the series and
even though this reader has not read all of the books of the
series, this reader has read most and has usually enjoyed
them. Christmas Cupcake Murder seems to have more recipes
(good sounding recipes) than actual mystery. The ending was
very rushed and no explanation of how Joe Doe arrived to Hannah’s
town. The interactions between Hannah, her sisters and mother
are always amusing and still are in Christmas Cupcake
Murder.
If
you are a true fan of Fluke’s and enjoy Hannah’s
recipes, then definitely pick up Christmas Cupcake Murder.
If you are looking for more of a cozy murder mystery, this
is not the book to pick up. This reader was disappointed in
the lack of murder mystery. The mystery of who is Joe Doe
was decent but not compelling.
