Pink Lemonade Cake Murder ~ Hannah Swensen #29 (by Joanne Fluke)

I have had ups and downs with the Hannah Swensen series. I do typically enjoy the murder mystery parts of the books. However, the love triangle between Hannah and Norman and Mike has gone on too long. It needs to be resolved. And I know how I would choose to have things end. The other thing that is a little irritating is that everyone who tastes every dad blame thing that Hannah bakes always says it’s delicious or the best she’s ever made. I mean really! I think we’ve figured out now that Hannah is a wonderful baker and there doesn’t need to be the constant compliments.


Another issue I had with this book is the use of Hannah and Norman … and other characters … to help interview suspects in the murder mystery. That is not going to happen in real life. Police detectives may use consultants, but they are not just going to cut a citizen lose to help solve the crime.


The book leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat with a huge cliff hanger at the very end. So I know I’ll have to read the 30th book in the series. So along for at least one more adventure with Hannah and the rest of the gang at The Cookie Jar in Lake Eden, Minnesota.
