The yuletide season in Lake Eden, Minnesota, guarantees a white Christmas, delectable holiday goodies from Hannah Swensen's bakery, The Cookie Jar—and murder …
The Cookie Jar's busiest time of the year also happens to be the most wonderful time … for Christmas cookies, Hannah's own special plum pudding—and romance! She also gets a kick out of “Lunatic Larry Jaeger’s Crazy Elf Christmas Tree Lot,” a kitschy carnival taking place smack-dab in the middle of the village green. But then Hannah discovers the man himself dead as a doornail in his own office …
Now, with so many suspects to investigate and the twelve days of Christmas ticking away, Hannah's running out of time to nab a murderous Scrooge who doesn't want her to see the New Year …
Includes Hannah’s favorite Christmas dinner recipes!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Christmas season provides the backdrop for bestseller Fluke's sprightly 12th Hannah Swenson holiday mystery (after Mar. 2009's Cream Puff Murder). When Hannah, the proprietor of the Cookie Jar in Lake Eden, Minn., stops by the Crazy Elf Christmas Tree Lot one night to pick up a check, she discovers the body of the owner, Larry Jaeger, inside "Elf Headquarters," the double-wide trailer that was Larry's home. Hannah's "slay-dar" has led her to yet another murder victim. With the support of various friends and family, including her lively and manipulative mother, Delores, Hannah investigates. Her sessions in a class on small business practices raise her suspicions about the Crazy Elf Christmas Tree Lot. Cozy fans will cheer as Hannah survives a hair-raising confrontation with the killer to present an elegant Christmas eve banquet. Tempting recipes range from Hot Fudge Sundae Cakes to Triple Threat Chocolate Cheesecake Pie.

Another Fun Adventure
This was so much fun to read. With my mothers side of the family all from a small town Minnesota, I love reading these books. This one was so exciting, filled with quite the excitement! Pour a cup of coffee and sit down to another fun book by Joanne!
Quick read and a surprise ending.
It was enjoyable but there wasn’t so much of a murder mystery. The book focused on people’s love lives, friendships, and the cat more than the murder.
Enjoyable
