Book Reviews of Sugar Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen Holiday Mysteries)
Book Review: Excellent fun and great cooking
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the book because I enjoyed the Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Hannah Swenson Mysteries), and I also liked the concept of recipes in a murder mystery. The venue of a neighborhood bakery makes a great center for the gathering of information and gossip, as the local bakery in my old home town certainly did. This rather clever choice of a central source of community information reminds me of the Lois Meade series: Murder On Monday (Lois Meade Mystery), Terror on Tuesday (Lois Meade Mystery), etc. by Ann Purser, which I also enjoy.
The book, like the other I've read, is a delightful depiction of Minnesota as it's often viewed by others. The nurses I worked with in New York City knew exactly one thing about Minnesota, it's COLD!! The author perpetuates our snowy image and the Minnesota Nice character of the people in her little town of Lake Eden where the central characters are charming and enjoyable people with whom to spend time. Each has his or her strengths and weaknesses and each supplies something to the others and to the story that moves things right along. Furthermore, there is a growing history through the sequence of the stories that leaves one wanting to know more about where each goes.
In this book the entire action occurs in one place, the local community center during the occasion of a Christmas party that previews the recipes submitted for a community cook book--something that many small towns have sponsored. The situation is much like the old fashioned manor house mysteries of Agatha Christie and others, given a modern update.
An added plus is the introduction of recipes throughout the book and the complete cookbook included at the end of the novel. While I'm not necessarily interested in all of them, there are many that I'd like to try and probably will, especially some of the main entrees. Many of them will be familiar to Minnesotans and probably sound weird to others, since the Jello salads and desserts are a local standard that no one from out of state seems to fathom!!!
A fun visit to Lake Eden. I look forward to others.
