This is a likable, entertaining start to the Hannah Swensen cozy mystery series. We are introduced to her mother Delores, sister Andrea, brother-in-law Bill and little niece Tracey. We also meet Hannah's partner in The Cookie Jar Lisa, and several other folks from the small town of Lake Eden, Minnesota. Plus her one-eyed tomcat Moishe gets some attention in this book too.
Hannah's potential love interests, Norman Rhodes and Mike Kingston, are introduced here too. Toward the end of the book, Hannah's mother Delores (who is pressuring Hannah to get married at the `old' age of 29) happily claims that Hannah will be asked out by both men. Hannah doesn't think so, but sure enough, she winds up with two dates.
Plus we get seven cookie recipes in this book: Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies, Regency Ginger Crisps, Pecan Chews, Black and Whites, Chocolate-Covered Cherry Delights, Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies and Lovely Lemon Bar Cookies (because the murderer is going to end up behind bars!).
