Summary: Cookies For Breakfast??
Review: This book was easy to read. The characters were fun and well written. But I couln't believe that Hannah's brother-in-law was willing to have Hannah almost take over the murder investigation. She also seemed to put an awful lot of responsibility on Lisa, her employee, for running her bakery. I also felt that Hannah was too critical of her sister Andrea in the beginning of the book. I liked that they were closer and she seemed to understand her sister better by the end of the book. Are there really that many people, besides me, who believe cookies can be eaten for breakfast?

Summary: Can't wait to read the next!
Review: This book was great right from the start and I can't wait to read "The Strawberry Shortcake Murder". I think that Hannah is a great character and I love humor. I especially loved the dialogue between her and Delores, her match making mother. The recipes are great and I have tried two of them already, and the mystery kept me guessing right until the end. I highly recommend reading this book.

Summary: Read It, ReadIt, Read It!!!!
Review: This book was the first in the series that I read by Joanne Fluke and ever since I have been coming back for more. I have never been dissapointed with any of her books. I have even used some of the scrumptious recipes in the books. I am anxiously awaiting the release of her next book "The Fudge Cupcake Murder".
It's a book you will absolutely love.

Summary: another great one
Review: this is a great new series. hannah is an almost too perfect character, she comes home to take care of her mother after her father dies, and opens a cookie shop which becomes very successful. she helps her brother-in-law solve a murder and manages to become good friends with her sister again. but, that is what makes a book like this enjoyable. i really enjoyed it. a great summer read.

Summary: A Delicious Murder...
Review: This was my first time reading a a Joanne Fluke mystery. I had never heard of her before until one day at the bookstore, I picked up one of her other books. I decided to look it up on Amazon and found out that the one I picked up, was part of the Hannah Swensen series. They seemed pretty interesting.
"Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder" focuses on Hannah Swensen, the owner of the The Cookie Jar, a quaint cookie shop in the small town of Lake Eden in Minnesota. Hannah finds Ron LaSalle, Lake Eden's football hero dead in his delivery truck with one of her famous Chocolate Chip Crunches still in his hand.
From then on, Hannah sets out to find Ron's killer. She questions everyone in town, but has no leads, because everyone she questions has a motive.
We learn about the small town, and and fall in love with the coziness and friendliness of it. Everybody knows everyone, and this can be a good and a bad thing. In Hannah's case, it works to her advantage, because where there is a small town, there are a bunch of nosy and informed people who feed her with loads of clues.
There are a lot of characters so you have to keep up.
All in all, I thought it was a good mystery, because the person who I thought committed the crime didn't. I was left surprised in the end. The book was also full of yummy cookie recipes, that left my mouth watering everytime I picked up the book. I don't suggest that you read this mystery on an empty stomach.
I definatly will be reading the second installment of Ms. Fluke's Hannah Swensen mysteries.
