The holidays are the icing on the cake for bakery owner Hannah Swensen.
Surrounded by her loved ones, she has all the ingredients for a perfect Christmas—until murder is added to the mix ...
When it comes to holidays, Minnesotans rise to the occasion—and the little town of Lake Eden is baking up a storm with Hannah leading the way. The annual Christmas Buffet is the final test of the recipes Hannah has collected for the Lake Eden Holiday Buffet Cookbook.
The recently divorced Martin Dubinski arrives at the buffet with his new Vegas showgirl wife—all wrapped up in glitter and fur. His ex-wife, however, seems as cool as chilled eggnog. And when Hannah's mother's antique Christmas cake knife disappears, its discovery in the
décolletage of the new—and now late—Mrs. Dubinski puts the festivities on ice.
With everyone stranded at the community center by a blizzard, Hannah puts her investigative skills to the test, using the ingredients at hand: half the town of Lake Eden—and a killer. Now, as the snowdrifts get higher, it's up to Hannah to dig out all the clues—and make sure
that this white Christmas doesn't bring any more deadly tidings ...

      In Lake Eden, Minnesota, a blizzard rages. Everyone is trapped inside the town community center when Brandy is killed in the parking lot with an heirloom cake knife. Suzanne Toren expertly infuses this cozy with unique voices for the myriad of whimsical characters who use a digital camera, wet shoes, and keen observations to follow the clues and solve the murder. As the snowdrifts get higher, it's up to Hannah to drive a new Hummer to the Obstetrics Department. Recipes are included, and the description of cherry bomb sugar cookies, covered with powdered sugar, may inspire listeners to try baking their own. K.A.T. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

      In her first holiday mystery, Fluke (Fudge Cupcake Murder
      , etc.) takes her series heroine, Hannah Swensen, amateur sleuth and owner of the Cookie Jar bakery in Lake Eden, Minn., through a delectable culinary romp. Hannah has compiled a cookbook of the locals' favorite recipes, which are to be featured at the Christmas party at Lake Eden's community center. All the residents gather for a festive evening, including Martin Dubinski and his wife of two days, Brandi Wyen, a Las Vegas dancer who's decked out in a new fur coat and antique emerald ring. The couple provide much food for thought and speculation, especially for Martin's mother, ex-mother-in-law and ex-wife. Cleaning up after the dinner, Hannah notices her mother's silver cake knife is missing; soon after, she finds the knife stuck in the chest of the new Mrs. Dubinski, who's lying dead in the parking lot. With her sisters and friends, she goes into action to help Det. Mike Kingston solve the case. Wacky and delightful characters, plus tempting recipes from appetizers to desserts, make this lighthearted offering sure to please the palate of any cozy fan. (Oct. 5)

      FYI:
      The book's last half consists of recipes, including an index.
