Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unraveling the mystery of her cat Moishe's recent strange behavior Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But she'll always make time for her business partner Lisa who's in the midst of preparing for a big family reunion. Everyone is delighted when Lisa's long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years. Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion. He's almost as popular as Hannah's scrumptious carrot cake which is also Gus's favorite dessert. But the next morning as the whole family gathers for the group photo one person is missing. Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake frosting-side down on the floor--and Gus's corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest! Now Hannah's got to sift through a long list of suspects to find a killer--even if it could mean a recipe for her own demise. . . "Filled with juicy scandal delightfully eccentric characters and tempting recipes." -- Publishers Weekly

More recipes than usual. The mystery was good.
Hannah Swenson owns and operates the Cookie Jar, a small bakery in a tiny town called Lake Eden, Minnesota. She also solves mysteries. Carrot Cake Murder is about as light and fluffy as Hannah's Lemon Fluff Jell-O (recipe on page 174). Everybody is really, really nice in Lake Eden...even the bad guy...
The book cover says it’s a bestseller, but I don’t know why. It’s an average mystery novel. Not too bad, not too good. Hannah, the protagonist, is an amateur sleuth and an owner of a cookie shop, and the only memorable pages in the novel are pages with recipes. I haven’t tried them yet but I will. E...
So this one ends on a cliff hanger. Most of them do, but not quite like this. I'm not sure what to expect. Very good mystery involving a family reunion. Possible suspects are close friends of Hannah, not what we've normally seen in the other books. Very good! I'm really liking this series.
