Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Turtleback School & Library)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Turtleback School & Library) | Joanne Fluke
153 posts | 152 read | 4 reading | 49 to read
Take one amateur sleuth. Mix in some eccentric Minnesota locals. Add a generous dollop of crackling suspense, and you've got the recipe for this delicious new mystery series featuring Hannah Swensen, the red-haired, cookie-baking heroine whose gingersnaps are almost as tart as her mouth, and whose penchant for solving crime is definitely stirring things up.Hannah already has her hands full trying to dodge her mother's attempts to marry her off while running The Cookie Jar, Lake Eden's most popular bakery. But once Ron LaSalle, the beloved delivery man from the Cozy Cow Diary, is found murdered behind her bakery with Hannah's famous Chocolate Chip Crunchies scattered around him, her life just can't get any worse. Determined not to let her cookies get a bad reputation, she sets out to track down a killer. But if she doesn't watch her back, Hannah's sweet life may get burned to a crisp!

This was a fun read — but what an underbelly in this small town! It‘s a bit dated, but that‘s to be expected. Hannah is frank and funny, and the mystery unwinds in a neat and tidy way that keeps you guessing but still more or less holds together. I didn‘t love all the sly pokes at people‘s looks and character, although the mother-hating cat was pretty funny. I‘d probably read another one in the series, just to see what happens to everyone.

Met my goal of finally reading a mystery. This was fine, but I guess they‘re just not for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

CogsOfEncouragement I love a good mystery and this series was not for me either. Agatha Christie is great. My favorites are The Crooked House and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd if you ever want to give the genre another try. 5mo
emz711 They're really cozy mysteries 5mo
AileenRR @CogsOfEncouragement Thanks for the recs! 5mo
AileenRR @emz711 That‘s why I thought I‘d like it. I did make the chocolate chip crunch cookies though, and they were just fine for me as well 5mo

For todays #scarathlon photo challenge: Death

Last year, this was my buddy read and it led me down the rabbit hole of cozy mysteries. These are a fun series with great recipes 🎃 #blackcatcrew 🐈‍⬛

Read-y_Picker Yeah I actually got hooked on the movie adaptations... Haven't read them yet but this one's been on my TBR probably since before last scarathlon lol.

TheQuietQuill Ohh I didn‘t know there were movie adaptations! I‘ll have to look into those! @Read-y_Picker 14mo

I didn‘t read this in October but I have several Christmas reads from this series on my iPad. I figured I should read the first in the series to get introduced to the characters and setting. It held my interest enough to read more.
I don‘t usually read out of order, but I‘m making an exception with this and the Lucy Stone series for #BookedByHoliday reads.

This is a pleasant enough little story. Very quick and light, which is perhaps a little disconcerting for a murder mystery (I'm not used to cozies that are quite this...cozy). Not sure I'll continue with the series, but this was a fun diversion. The included recipes make me want to bake, but I'm skeptical about whether they'd actually turn out well or not.

Team read done and I really enjoyed it. I like a cosy mystery and Hannah is very likeable. Plus this had an extra short story that was very sweet. The recipes included was a lovely touch 4* 51pts for #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon

This week, I read 4 books including our buddy read, which was light and fluffy and fun, if not terribly believable. And loook, I found a Hallmark movie for it! Maybe I‘ll have to watch it 🤔 #spookoween

I enjoyed Hanna‘s sarcastic demeanor, and who doesn‘t love a cookie bakery & a moody cat, but it honestly felt like a generic cozy. Strong setting can make a cozy stand out, but descriptions of Lake Eden weren‘t particularly vivid or memorable. Narrator was good. #3stars #teamread #mystery #scarathalon22 #TeamSlaughter #31by31

I didn‘t love the main character in this series, but I liked the mystery and the conclusion. Amateur sleuths in these types of books can be so judgmental when they‘re solving crimes, you know? 🤣

I originally had planned to read the Karin Slaughter book, but it turns out I had already read it, so I thought I'd try this one for the team read and I really liked it! I've already read the second book, and I plan on continuing. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick

Okay, so I went a liiiiiiiittle bit overboard with the #wordsearch #game for #Scarathlon2022 this week 😁
I spent hours and hours poring over countless dictionaries, whenever I read a book words that fit jumped at me; it took me ages to find sleep because I mulled over the word lists...

Yuki_Onna ... Continued -
Don't worry, that sounds worse than it was - if you didn't notice already - I tend to obsess over word search games! 😊😂
They're my absolute favourite and I had a blast this week!✌️
Be assured I double and triple checked my results before the final check-in!!!

🥳Checking in at 1353 found words from this week's word search for #TeamSlaughter 🥳

Using a #TeamSlaughter #BuddyRead for the #ScarathlonDailyPrompts #PhotoChallenge for Day 7: #Victim. I have yet to read this one, but the synopsis states one of our MC‘s customers is found murdered behind her bakery amidst her chocolate chip cookies and she decides to investigate!

An enjoyable but slow cozy mystery this one. Dairy delivery guy without an enemy in the world is shot behind the MC‘s cookie shop. Doofus of a detective gets the cookie shop owner to pretty much do all the work to solve the murder. Cookie shop owner apparently has a perfect IQ because she knows everything and her 4–year-old niece talks like she‘s 30. So I suspended reality a lot, but I enjoyed the mystery. #teamslaughter #buddyread #scarathlon

Lynnsoprano Perfect description of this book 😄 I read one more out of this series and decided it was just too unrealistic. Plus, the recipes have way too much butter for my diet 😂 2y

I enjoyed our #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter #TeamBook. It was a cute cozy mystery with yummy cookie recipes. I listened on audio, but think that I might actually have preferred to read it, as the voices the narrator used didn‘t mesh well with my mental image of the characters.

Finished listening to the team read. This is the second book in the series I‘ve read and I found them both to be on the slow side. Also, the MC is supposed to be in her twenties but seems more like a middle aged woman. (Maybe because they were first published before cell phones and such?) #teamslaughter #scarathlon @Clwojick

Roary47 I agree that she seems older than she is suppose to be. 2y
