It's a hot summer's evening in Lake Eden, Minnesota - perfect for the Grand Opening of the refurbished Albion Hotel. Hannah Swensen's famous Red Velvet cupcakes are the talk of the night, until Doctor Bev, the woman who left town after two-timing her fiancé, turns up unexpectedly.
Things go from bad to worse when another partygoer takes a dive off the hotel's rooftop garden. As the police investigate, Hannah is more preoccupied with Bev's attempts to stir things up with old flame Norman, who's since reunited with Hannah. When Bev is found dead at the bottom of Miller's Pond, things reach boiling point. To everyone's shock, Hannah is now the target of a murder investigation - and she's feeling the heat like never before...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Despite the 26 sweet and savory recipes scattered throughout, crime buffs may find little nourishment in bestseller Fluke's 16th Hannah Swenson novel (after 2012's Cinnamon Roll Murder). As the owner of the Cookie Jar coffee shop and bakery in Lake Eden, Minn., Hannah helps cater the Albion Hotel's grand reopening, where the main event proves to be the return of the notorious town floozy, "Doctor Bev," on the arm of the hotel's owner, wealthy playboy Roger Dalworth. More than gossip is in the air, though, after the Lake Eden sheriff's secretary, Barbara Donnelly, falls from the hotel penthouse, sustaining serious brain damage. A subsequent fatal automobile accident suggests to Hannah that murder is once again stalking the small town. Fluke fans should appreciate the reappearance of series regulars like Hannah's two boyfriends, Mike Kingston and Norman Rhodes (who turns out to be an old flame of Bev's), but the tepid humor and meandering storyline are unlikely to win newcomers.
