not one of the best Hannah series novels

This started slow. it seems like the author just tries to throw in a bunch of recipes rather than a true storyline. it doesn't improve until close to the end when it sets up for the next book.

Love the Hannah Swenson mysteries

Always looking forward to the next book in the series. The characters are fun, and quirky, and “real”. A lot of good recipes, even if some are a bit out-dated. Also enjoy the Midwest lore and customs.

Not sure what happened with this one

I was binging these books but I am out with this one. The barely there story,chapters that are 5 minutes of story 15 of recipes, and the antiquated outlook and judgement of women. It is almost like someone else wrote this story or a misogynistic agent got a hold of it. The continual judgement and distorying of young girls mental and emotional wellbeing for wearing bikini tops and short skirts is horrible.

Love Joanne Fluke

This is a wonderful series of books. Each story is dodo and they keep you guessing. The characters stories are funny and work so well together. Love the recipes! Can’t wait for the next one!

A cookbook with a little story weaved in

I generally love these books, but this one felt like a cookbook with a tiny story sprinkled in. Kind of disappointed.
