Blackberry Pie Murder By Joanne Fluke

It’s been a sleepy summer for the folks of Lake Eden, Minnesota. In fact, it’s been a whole four months since anyone in the Swensen family has come across a dead body–a detail that just made the front page of the local paper. And that means Hannah Swensen can finally focus on her bakery. . .or can she?

Life is never really quiet for Hannah. After all, her mother’s wedding is a little over a month away and guess who Delores put in charge of the planning? Yet just when Hannah believes her biggest challenge will be whether to use buttercream or fondant for the wedding cake, she accidentally hits a stranger with her cookie truck while driving down a winding country road in a raging thunderstorm. Hannah is wracked with guilt, and things get even worse when she’s arrested… for murder! But an autopsy soon reveals the mystery man, his shirt covered in stains from blackberry pie, would have died even if Hannah hadn’t hit him. Now, to clear her name, Hannah will have to follow a trail of pie crumbs to track down the identity of the deceased, find a baker who knows more about murder than how to roll out a perfect piecrust–and get herself to the church on time.

My Review:

I love the Hannah Swensen series.  Since the very first book I was in love with Lake Eden, Minnesota. I like the people who live in the town and can’t wait to see what happens next.  Blackberry Pie did not disappoint me.  Hannah as always is busy with her cookie bakery.  When out with her sister during a thunderstorm and is trying to drive to safety when she hits something and that something is a man.  At first Hannah is believed to be guilty of killing him and has to spend the weekend in jail.  When she finds out that maybe her truck didn’t kill him ~ she knows she must solve the murder.  She is kept busy with making plans for her mother’s upcoming wedding and dating both Norman and Mike.  With help from her friends can she find out who the murder is? Does she decide between Norman or Mike? You will want to read Blackberry Pie Murder to find out.

I received a Copy of this book from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for the review, and the review is honest and my responsibility.
