Goodreads synopsis: Mystery and murder are afoot in Lake Eden as a Hollywood film crew comes to town and Hannah Swensen finds herself busily catering for the cast and crew--plus juggling two marriage proposals. Between the glamorous cast and crew, her rival suitors and a killer on the loose there's plenty of drama to go around in Joanne Fluke's New York Times bestseller!
4 Stars
The movies have made their way to Lake Eden and the townsfolk are just head over heels to get a part in the production. Hannah has more than one link to the movie: her little sister, Michelle, is working on the crew and two old friends from college have made their appearance.
Having new friendly faces around may be nice for Hannah but Norman and Detective Mike find that Hannah has the eyes of another man on her as her old friend, Ross, who is the producer on the movie, takes an interest in the owner of the Cookie Jar.
The prologue showed us the murder but the actual deed didn't happen until about 61% into the book. I normally hate when that happens. It is one of my cozy mystery pet peeves.
I wish there had been a bit more investigating on Hannah's part in this book. I think that setting up the movie and letting us get to know all the new characters took up a lot more of the book than it does in a normal Hannah Swensen novel.
I can honestly say that I enjoyed the Peach Cobbler Mystery more than I did this book. But that is not saying that this book was bad. It wasn't. It was good. Decent. And I will definitely keep reading these novels because I totally love the town of Lake Eden and its residents. Needless to say, you should check out this series because it is a keeper!
I paid for this book with my own money.
