Publisher's Weekly Review

Fluke's 16th installment in her bestselling Hannah Swensen series finds the smalltown baker turned sleuth investigating the murder of a member of a jazz band called Cinnamon Roll Six. As the investigation proceeds, Hannah discovers that her own life and relationships are somehow tied to the case. Narrator Suzanne Toren turns in a fun, engaging performance that captures both the essence of Fluke's characters and the spirit of this cozy mystery. Additionally, Toren ably reads the book's corresponding recipes after the novel's conclusion-which will please fans of the series-leaving listeners entertained, but feeling as if they've just gained five pounds.

Library Journal Review

The delectable duo of cookie baker-cum- amateur sleuth Hannah Swensen and narrator Suzanne Toren return with another scrumptious murder. When the keyboardist for the Cinnamon Roll Six jazz band is murdered practically right under her mother's nose, Hannah knows that she had better solve this case fast. Meanwhile, the marriage of her ex-boyfriend Norman Rhodes and Doc Bev is imminent, and people are coming out of the woodwork begging Hannah to stop it. Toren's calm demeanor reflects Hannah's lack of alarm over dead bodies. Imagining Norman married to that scheming, cat-hating dentist leaves Hannah less sanguine. VERDICT Toren wears the denizens of Lake Eden so comfortably, it's difficult to remember that they are fictional. The delectable recipes would really work better as a PDF accompanying the CDs, but at least Toren's voice has no calories. [The Kensington hc was a New York Times best seller.-Ed.]-Jodi L.
