Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder: A Hannah Swenson Mystery (Hannah Swensen Mysteries (Hardcover))

by Joanne Fluke

    “I believe this is the first in her series? Some are better than others. This one introduces "Hannah's" love interests. These stories are great for an entertaining evening when you only have a few hours to get through a book. This is definitely not a book you buy to learn something or to immerse yourself in a literary classic. It definitely isn't aiming to be the greatest series of all time, but I enjoy them and I love the recipes. I haven't tried any, but I do keep reading in order to get more recipes. Referring to another review, I don't think Hannah writes older than a 30 year old. I think she is just a very confident, smart and mature 30 year old. I find it refreshing that she doesn't use the Internet... she is from a small town in Minnesota so it makes sense that that story is a bit slower and seems dated. Cute book, it is what it is.”

    “Quick read. I agree with a comment on Amazon.com - it reads as though a much older woman is writing for the 30-something Hannah. A lot of it seems dated. A good editor wouldn't have let "Mike" have a moustache, and would have pointed out that the Internet is this little thing Hannah could have used for most of her legwork. The details seemed forced, and I thought it was tacky that it's mentioned *twice* within 100 pages that Hannah and her family have money.

    I think Hannah comes across as a Mary Sue-type of character, and I'm not sure why she's supposed to be seen as progressive - she's incredibly judgmental of her sister who is a mother and *gasps* a realtor! ”

    “Great sounding recipes, story line is OK. Not the best I've read, but it's entertaining.”
