This is book #6 in the Hannah Swensen mystery series. The reader for the audio has been consistent throughout the series so far & that makes me happy, I hate when they change readers! I was able to finish this book in about a week which is my average time if I listen a little everyday. I'm really enjoying this series so far. I was a little skeptical in the beginning because they are a little bit cheesy but now I'm liking that they are light & funny, plus quick to listen to on audio. I like listening to audio because you can do other things while you are "reading". I've already got book #7 checked out so I can start listening to that one right away. I think the cover for the paperback & the ebook with the cute little snowman cookie are great. But what is up with the audiobook cover? LOL that's a gingerbread man not a sugar cookie...at least it's Christmas, I think it's funny still.

This story takes place around Christmas time, the last one was around Halloween, so far those 2 holidays have fallen in the books frequently, either those of summer time. In this book we finally get to meet Delores's new boyfriend, he's an English Lord & how he ended up in Minnesota dating Hannah's mother I'm not sure so that part is a little sketchy. Andrea also has her baby, it's a girl! The murder in this book actually wasn't that at all but a complete accident that many people I think were pleased with in the end. There also wasn't a second body or an akward scene where Hannah almost gets killed by the suspect either which I was happy to see. We also get to see the recipes from the cookbook that Hannah has been working on, some of them sound great & I saved those, others sound questionable. I'll include the famous Hawaiian Pot Roast & the Jello Cake below for you.
