The yuletide season in Lake Eden, Minnesota, guarantees a white Christmas, delectable holiday goodies from Hannah Swensen's bakery, The Cookie Jar—and murder …
 
The Cookie Jar's busiest time of the year also happens to be the most wonderful time … for Christmas cookies, Hannah's own special plum pudding—and romance! She also gets a kick out of “Lunatic Larry Jaeger’s Crazy Elf Christmas Tree Lot,” a kitschy carnival taking place smack-dab in the middle of the village green. But then Hannah discovers the man himself dead as a doornail in his own office …
 
Now, with so many suspects to investigate and the twelve days of Christmas ticking away, Hannah's running out of time to nab a murderous Scrooge who doesn't want her to see the New Year …

Includes Hannah’s favorite Christmas dinner recipes!

Love it! I am hooked on the Hannah Swenson and am working my way through the series!

These books are well written and paint a clear picture of Hannah's world and her family and loved ones. The story lines are interesting and easy to follow with a touch of humor thrown in here and there. Love this series!

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Plum Pudding Murder'! The author masterfully blends cozy mystery, intrigue, and humor, creating a delightful reading experience. The inclusion of recipes adds a charming touch, making it a treat for both mystery enthusiasts and foodies alike. Minus one star because the killer was easily predicted.

This was a great book series but she seems to get bogged down in minute details as the series moves along. I wish the author would get back to the original series with less time spent on recipes cat Shenanigans and what everyone is eating with more emphasis on the actual mystery.

The bakery murders by Joanne Fluke are addicting. I received a copy that was in the middle of the series and it hooked me. Even though it was from the middle of the series the author gives excellent details and you can read each book as a stand alone if desired. Each book includes recipes and I have also purchased the Lake Eden Cookbook by Joanne Fluke.

Granted I have been binge reading this series but I feel I am ready cookbooks with fluff filler. It is taking longer and longer to get into the investigation of the murders, 60-80% of the book completed before action.

The 12th book in the Hannah Swensen cozy mystery series, Plum Pudding Murder, published in 2009 and written by Joanne Fluke, gets 3.5 stars. I’m skipping my normal detailed and formatted review, as you can only say so many new and different things about similar-type books. That said, I enjoyed this edition and would recommend it to existing fans and potentially new ones.

In this escapade, Hannah continues baking up a storm while preparing for the Christmas holidays. When the owner of a local tree nursery and shop is murdered, she solves the case by enlisting her mother, sisters and friends in all sorts of hi-jinks. She outsmarts her on again / off again cop boyfriend Mike, and continues flirting with her other boy, dentist Norman. Throw in about 25 recipes, and you’ve got a cute and fun cozy book to enjoy. Not to mention the big surprise at the end when the college guy who broke her heart shows up in town!

The murder is good, the story has a strong cast of suspects and the characters provide comic relief. It should have been 15% more story and less recipe, only to give us the necessary substance. The plots also need to start sooner; the murder didn’t happen until 50% through the book! While we got to know the cast in the first half, which gave us potential red herrings and culprits, I wanted to be a bit more invested at that point.

I adore Hannah, want her as my best friend and would love to live in this town. I’d eat cookies all day, but that’s what I do… so there you have it, folks…

Reviewed in France on April 13, 2022

J’adore l’héroïne et les autres personnages, mais si on enlève le temps passé à boire du café et à grignotter des cookies et les six pages de recettes tous les deux chapitres et la dizaine de recettes à la fin, on arrive à un livre de 200 pages. Un peu agaçant. D’autant que les livres ne sont pas dans l’abonnement Kindle pour les 20 premiers.

Bis jetzt hat mir die Serie sehr gut gefallen, aber dieses Buch finde ich ziemlich schwach. Es passiert nicht viel, weder im Ort, noch in Hannahs Familie, und selbst der Mordfall wirkt noch konstruierter als in den vorherigen Büchern. Auch die Rezepte (für mich schon fast zu viele in diesem Band) reißen mich nicht vom Hocker. Schade!
