FUDCE CUPCAKE MURDER
Bakery owner Hannah Swensen just can't keep her hands out of the batter when murder stirs things up in Lake Eden, Minnesota, leaving tne sheriff dead, an innocent deputy accused, and a killer still on the loose
jFor bakery owner Hannah Swenson, life 'in Lake Eden, Minnesota, seems to be ^/lacking a certain flavor. It's not that she doesn't enjoy teaching a weekly "Potluck Cooking" class at the community outreach center. Or that she's not excited about her sister Andrea's bun in the oven—watching the very pregnant Andrea try to sit on a stool at The Cookie Jar is worth it every time. Maybe it's this year's sheriff's election that's got her down. For years, Sheriff Grant's been the iron hand in town.

But before anyone can get a taste of victory, things go sour. Just as Hannah's emptying the trasn, she makes a very unappetizing discovery: Sheriff Grant's body in the Dumpster behind the high school where she's teaching her cooking class. And as if that weren't bad enough, the poor man still has fudge frosting on his shirt from the cupcake she gave him earner. She'd been trying to find the secret ingredient left out of the recipe. Now she has a more important mystery to crack.
The number one suspect is none other than Bill. In fact, he's the only suspect, but Hannah's not swallowing it.
