Caramel Pecan Roll Murder by Joanne Fluke is the 28th A Hannah Swensen Mystery. I do not feel Caramel Pecan Roll Murder is a standalone book. New readers will find the background information needed to be missing. Fans of the series (like me), though, will enjoy it. I have read every Hannah Swensen mystery. Caramel Pecan Roll Murder picks up a few weeks after the death with Ross, Hannah’s “husband” has been cleared up. Hannah is lacking her confidence after everything that has happened. I hope she gets it back soon. I understand that Hannah loves her condo, but I feel it would be best for her and Moishe if she sold it and found a new place to live (I see her in a cozy little house with lots of play space for Moishe and Cuddles). I feel bad for Moishe, and I am glad that he has Cuddles to keep him company and has Hannah’s mother to spoil him. The mystery had a dead television host at a fishing tournament. The man was a piece of work so naturally there are a number of suspects. Hannah with help from Andrea sets out to hook the killer. Hannah could use the diversion as her thoughts keep going back to Ross. There are good clues to help readers solve the crime before the reveal. The reveal was dramatic and tense. We get all our questions answered regarding the whodunit. The pacing was a little slower for Caramel Pecan Roll Murder. I enjoyed my latest visit to Lake Eden. We are left with a little cliffhanger at the end of Caramel Pecan Roll Murder. I am curious how it will turn out. I enjoyed catching up with Hannah, Mike, Norman, Delores, Andrea, Michelle, Lonnie, Lisa, and, of course, Moishe. I look forward to seeing what Hannah will do next. Caramel Pecan Roll Murder is a tasty treat with timorous Moishe, a sloshed Sonny, a distressed Sally, a helpful Hannah, a considerate Norman, able assistant Andrea, a sympathetic Mike, and a mysterious murder.

Hannah Goes Fishing for a Killer
3 out of 5 stars
- 3 years ago
A fishing tournament has come to Lake Eden, which is great news for Lake Eden Inn since it is located on the shores of Eden Lake. Hannah Swensen is out at the inn filling in for their pastry chef, who is out for a family emergency. That’s how she first meets Sonny Bowman, the celebrity face of the contest. Sonny is as arrogant as he is handsome, but Hannah is still surprised when she finds his dead body. Can she figure out what happened? If you haven’t picked up a book in this series before, don’t start here. Not only are there some spoilers about what has gone on in Hannah’s life recently, but the earlier books were stronger. Go back then to see why people got hooked on the books. For fans, they’ll find this book is a mixed bag. It’s definitely stronger than the last few in the series were, with a little less cooking and baking talk and more time spent on the mystery. I didn’t figure out who the killer was until the end, and there were some decent twists along the way. Since the action takes place at the Inn, we only get cameos from some of the usual characters, which is okay. The characters continue to be a bit thin, but fans will love spending time with them anyway. My biggest issue was the lack of editing. There were several times that a character contradicted something that had happened just a few pages before. It wasn’t related to the mystery; it was just lazy writing and editing. By my count, there are twenty new recipes to enjoy once you’ve finished the book, and they made my mouth water as always. If you’ve stuck with the series, you’ll be glad you picked up the latest entry.
Great recipes...a bit plodding otherwise

As we cozy up to this next in the series of Hannah Swenson mysteries based in fictional Lake Eden Minnesota, Hannah is platonically living with Norman, Mike doesn't seem like the Mike we've come to know and love, and Moishe is making moving back into her condo a difficult decision for Hannah. Oh...and there's a murder to solve. A situation at the Lake Eden Inn has Hannah covering for the pastry chef there. She is able to 'move' from Norman's place to the Inn to keep the citizens of Lake Eden from thinking there is anything going on between she and Norman. Come on, they're both adults...but whatever. Mike is on the periphery of this book, even when working to solve the murder. I always like these books. The stories are usually sound and the recipes make up for a lot. This book just felt a bit forced. You knew the few people who could have done it very early in the story and I kind of think Hannah needs to figures out who she is and make a decision about who she wants to go through life with. That she is still thinking about her ex, Ross just doesn't make sense to me. There is a bit of a cliff hanger at the end, so I hope the next book in this series has a bit more depth than this one did.

If you love a good Cozy Murder Mystery, Joanne Fluke writes these fun and entertaining books that are centered around The Cookie Jar and it’s owner Hannah Swenson. Hannah Swenson is the proud owner of The Cookie Jar who always seems to get wrapped up in a murder when she caters her goodies at events. The police always tell her to mind her own business, but she always finds a way to get involved with the investigation. Hannah can’t risk the murder ruining her reputation. In the Carmel Pecan Roll Murder, Hannah is visited by Sally, who is in charge of the local Inn where the annual fishing tournament is taking place. Sally explains to Hannah her predicament of losing her pastry chef right before the tournament because he has had to leave to take care of his sick mother. Hannah agrees to help out at the Inn. When famed tv host and future son in law to the host of the tournament, Sonny, ends up dead, will Hannah be blamed since Sonny loved her Carmel Pecan Rolls, which he requested she make extra for him.? Will Hanna figure out who killed him, so that she isn’t blamed? A fun quick read that will keep you entertained though all the unexpected twists and turns. I love Hannah’s predicaments and how she always finds a way out of them! Also, I love how the author included the recipes! Even though this is book #29 in the series, it could be read as a stand alone.
