When a big TV cooking star comes to Eden Lake for the Winter Festival, everything was on the road to being perfect. But when that same personality is found dead in Hannah’s pantry, everything starts to go off the rails. With the Cookie Jar being the primary crime scene. Hannah is thrown head first into yet another murder investigation, but this time the suspect list is as long as her arm and no one seems to have any hard feeling with the victim’s death. Hannah wouldn’t have even looked into it if it wasn’t directly affecting her bottom line.

This wasn’t my favourite book of the series so far. The victim wasn’t someone that I felt any empathy for. Also, there was no development in Hannah’s relationship with Mike and Norman, other than them all admitting that they are jealous of anyone else being with Hannah. Once you notice 1 detail in the book, you realise who the murderer is pretty quickly. I feel like Fluke is getting into her stride in this book but the later books get better and not every book has to be amazing right away. Overall, I still like it but it’s not my favourite of the series.
