Bakery owner Hannah Swensen is back–and the cookies are crumbling–as acclaimed author Joanne Fluke serves readers another helping of murder, mayhem, and mouthwatering mystery. . . Blueberry Muffin Murder Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival–and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at her popular shop, The Cookie Jar. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac–a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show–sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. Turns out America's «Cooking Sweetheart» is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp—and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins. Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar's kitchen crime scene off-limits. She's a baker without an oven–and the Carnival is right around the corner. Hannah's only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business–by finding the killer herself. . . [/b][b]Includes seven original cookie and dessert recipes for you to try! "Delicious food descriptions and recipes, warm and familiar characters who grow into real people. . .a vivid picture of the small lake town and a well-crafted mystery provide the ingredients for yet another tempting feast that should satisfy all fans, old and new."– Publishers Weekly

Minnesota osariigis asuv Lake Edeni linnake on iga-aastase talvekarnevali ettevalmistustoode tuhinat tais ning Hannah Swensen peab vihtuma oma menukas kohvikus, Cookie Jaris, valmis terve kupsisemae. Kahju ainult, et ametliku talvekarnevali tordi valmistamise au oli langenud kuulsale elustiili eksperdile, Connie Macile, ja see oli Hannah’ arvates kull veidi nigel mote. Hannah kahtlustab, et Connie Mac on paljuski samasugune nagu need maiused, mida naine oma kaabeltelevisiooni kokasaates valmistab – magusad, ohulised ja horgutava valimusega, kuid toenaoliselt kibeda maitsega.Hannah’ kahtlused leiavad kinnitust, kui Connie Maci limusiin linna veereb. Ilmneb, et Kupsetav Kullake on kamandav, kergesti arrituv ja udini domineeriv. Viimane tilk langeb karikasse siis, kui Hannah saabub Cookie Jari ja leiab eest soestunud talvekarnevali tordi ning sahvris lebava Connie Maci, keda oli surmav look tabanud tapselt siis, kui ta oli napanud soomiseks uhe Hannah’ kuulsa mustikamuffini.Jargmisena teatab politsei, et sulgeb Hannah’ pagaritookojale ligipaasu, kuna tegu on kuriteopaigaga. Hannah on ilma ahjudeta pagar ja talvekarneval on kohe-kohe algamas. Hannah ainsaks voimaluseks on haududa valmis plaan oma pagariari paastmiseks – paljastada ise tapja…Sisaldab seitse originaalset kupsise- ja magustoiduretsepti, mida proovida!

The room was on the fourth floor, and the key on the inside. The windows were closed and fastened – on the inside. The chimney was too narrow for a cat to get through. So how did the murderer escape? And whose were the two angry voices heard by the neighbours as they ran up the stairs? Nobody in Paris could find any answers to this mystery.
Except Anguste Dupin, who could see further and think more clearly than other people. The answers to the mystery were all there, but only a clever man could see them.

At the start of this play, the court room is full for today's trial. Two young men, Simon Clark and Dan Smith, stand up. The clerk asks, 'Are you guilty of the murder of Mary Jones?' 'Not guilty!' they reply. But perhaps they are guilty. The police found the murder weapon in their stolen car, and there was blood on Simon's face. If the court finds them guilty, they will go to prison for a very long time. Can the lawyers find out the truth, by asking the right questions? Everyone in court wants to know who murdered Mary Jones, especially her mother, and her boyfriend, Jim. You can help to find the answer, too!
