Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unraveling the mystery of her cat Moisheβs recent strange behavior, Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But sheβll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, whoβs in the midst of preparing for a big family reunion. Everyone is delighted when Lisaβs long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years. Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion. Heβs almost as popular as Hannahβs scrumptious carrot cake, which is also Gusβs favorite dessert. But the next morning, as the whole family gathers for the group photo, one person is missing. Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus, but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion, she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floorβand Gusβs corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest!
