This is a fascinating book. I love all the Hannah Swenson mysteries. This story begins when Hannah andRoss are still on their honeymoon.
This time Delores, Hannah's mother, finds the body of her neighbor Tori. Tori is Mayor Bascomb's sister.
Tori is the play director for Lake Eden. With her death, Michelle, Hannah's sister is asked to take over being the play's director.
The story is well written. There are several recipes that I am going to try.
However I did find it disturbing that both Mike and Norman play a role in the story with Hannah. I mean in real life no one still has dinner with their ex-boyfriends. I find it hard to believe that these exs feel they can come over before breakfast to talk with Hannah. More importantly Ross does not seem to care that the exs are dining with them. Not to mention inviting Hannah's sister to stay with them? They are newlyweds for heavens sake.
