Apple Turnover Murder (A Hannah Swensen Mystery)

Good book lent to someone. It was never returned. So I bought the book again

Another book that held my interest, making it easy to "one more chapter" it until I finished it. She writes wonderful, humor filled who done its.

This book had an unexpected twist not seen until the last chapters and great cookie recipes my great grandkids will love

Don't you just love it when the jerk ends up being the dead guy?!Hannah, Hannah, Hannah....taking cookie orders and finding dead people. Perhaps, not the greatest combo but I'm glad it's you and not me! This installment was another fun one but I'm here to say that if any of you EVER make me the cottage cheese cookies recipe from this book...I will disown you. K? Thanks.1,000 apple turnovers, a crazy mayor, his even crazier wife, a talent show, a dead guy, and Norman's acting strange...what could go wrong with this picture?!

Hannah does it again! How she gets herself in harms way is beyond me! But the why of it really shouldn't have been hers to tell! It kind of dragged on in spots but I guess that's how it had to be! Hopefully she'll be able to do a little more work in her business before the next murder occurs! Enjoy following Hannah not only in the investigation of the murders but her Love life as well!

I begin a book by reading the back-cover blurb: "June in Lake Eden brings plenty of work for Hannah Swensen, including a three-day fundraiser. Hannah's business partner, Lisa, suggests setting up an apple turnover stand. Hannah agrees to be a magician's assistant in the event's talent show. The only snag is the show's host, Bradford Ramsey. Hannah had an unfortunate romantic relationship with Ramsey, and when he comes sniffing around between acts, Hannah tells him off. When the curtain doesn't go up, she discovers Ramsey dead --with a turnover in his hand. . . . " When it's Joanne's Fluke's latest, I look at the recipes. I am not a good cook. Ilove easy, hint-filled dishes: Imperial Cereal, Wacky Cake, Too Easy Hot Dish, Aggression Cookies (Funny comments), all promise success. Like her recipes, Fluke's story line is sprinkled with sweetness and humor: A wedding for Carrie Rhodes and Earl Flensburg; a cooking lesson for Tracey Todd; the donkey baseball game played by Gus York, Doug Greerson and Richard Bascomb (I think this is the first mention of the Mayor's given name); kitty sleep-overs for Moishe and Cuddles; a new police puppy for Herb Beeseman. (His name is Dillon); and, alas, the same old purple dress for Hannah, who is Amazing Herb's assistant. But, Joanne Fluke continues to educate us as well, with insights into Jack Herman's Alzheimer's Disease and orphans and child abuse as seen through the eyes of new characters, Perry and Sherri Connors. To me, Joanne Fluke is special. I save her until I "need a little Christmas, right this very minute." She always delivers. We are lucky. This title is number thirteen in the Hannah Swensen series, with more to come, including a cook book. Start with: Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen Mysteries) .

Darn. There's no way that Hannah wouldn't have figured out that the young lady was pregnant sooner, AND she would have also figured out that the brother was guilty sooner. The climax of the story was rushed and not fully developed. I'm disappointed in this episode.

When The Cookie Jar gets an order of eleven hundred cookies for a charity talent show, Hannah Swenson is overwhelmed, until her intrepid business partner, Lisa, recommends apple turnovers. Being a good sport, Hannah agrees. But then the host turns out to be a college professor both Hannah and Hannah's youngest sister, Michelle, had a relationship with.Having to deal with the professor is one thing, but when Hannah finds the man dead, that's completely something else. Hannah must put her personal feelings aside, as most don't know of her relationship with the man, and find his killer. Is the cad's killer closer than she thinks?Who would read this: Fans of cozy mysteries and the hannah swenson series!Time to Read: 3.5 hoursRating: 4/5 starsFunny Story: I've been reading this series for the past few months, and i've become quite the sleuth in real life.Final thoughts: While this series is traditionally pretty easy to 'figure out' early on for me at this point, the character development and the recipes keep me coming back!

Sorry.but this book was too long on recipes and the plot wasn't up to previous ones If I wanted a cake recipe book I would have chosen one. Plus the quantities weren't really domestic ones.

This was a present for my daughter; she told me it was good, very good. She said it was one she could not put down, she has most of the series and I have just bought her the last three for Christmas.

have read quite a few of Joanne Flukes books in this mystery series and although they are all similar they are easy to read and well thought ot

Really happy to get a book from my favourite series, and the shipping to Finland was fast too!

Loved it
