The residents of Lake Eden, Minnesota, are planning to paint the town red, white, and blue to celebrate the Fourth of Julyโbut the fireworks are already going off at Hannah Swensenโs bake shop, The Cookie Jar. . .
Lemon Meringue Pie Murder
Hannah Swensen thought sheโd finally discovered the recipe for a perfect life. But her sometime beau Norman Rhodes tosses a surprise ingredient into the mix when he phones to tell her heโs just bought a house from local drugstore clerk Rhonda Scharfโwhich he plans to tear down in order to build the dream home he and Hannah designed. It seems the plan has been cooking for quite some time, and Hannahโs shocked. Especially since her ring finger is still very much bare. . .
The good news is that the soon-to-be-torn-down house is full of antiquesโand Norman has given Hannah and her mother first dibs. They uncover some gorgeous old furniture, a patchwork quilt . . . and Rhonda Scharfโs dead body. A little more sleuthing turns up the half-eaten remains of a very special dinner for twoโand one of The Cookie Jarโs famous lemon meringue pies. Now itโs up to Hannah to turn up the heatโand get busy tracking down clues. Starting in her very own kitchen.
Includes nine original cookie and dessert recipes for you to try!
