Blueberry Muffin Murder by Joanne Fluke

This is the third installment of the Hannah Swenson mysteries. It can definitely be read as a stand alone, but there is some background information found in the previous books that is nice to know but not necessary to the enjoyment of this book. In this mystery, a celebrity has come to the small town of Lake Eden for the Winter Carnival only to be discovered murdered in Hannah's shop. I found this book to be delightful and a very fast read (one day). I can't wait to try out some of the recipes!

Lisa's character remains pretty much the same as she was in the previous books. Instead, Fluke is exploring Hannah's feelings towards her two suitors (for lack of a better word), Norman and Mike. Norman, is a steady, dependable average guy while Mike makes her head spin. Hannah definitely enjoys the company of both men, for different reasons. It's an interesting side story.

I was able to solve this one, but Fluke didn't give too much away. Unlike the Anne Perry books I've been reading recently, all of the necessary information is given as the story progresses, not right at the end. Very enjoyable book.
