Joanne Fluke continues her popular Hannah Swensen mysteries with this mix of crime and confection. Hollywood has come to Lake Eden and The Cookie Jar is snack central for the movie crew. And when the demanding director turns up dead after someone switches the movie’s prop gun with a real gun, there’s a baker’s dozen worth of suspects.

Joanne Fluke’s mildly entertaining Cherry Cheesecake Murder: A Hannah Swenson Mystery with Recipes, the seventh entry in her cozy series set in quaint Lake Eden, Minn. (after 2005’s Sugar Cookie Murder), finds our heroine up to her usual tricks: keeping her hometown happily fed with tasty cookies, chatting with her precocious niece and, of course, sleuthing. Hannah’s two beaux, nerdy Norman and hunky Mike, willingly put up with her inability to choose between them, but readers are likely to weary of her by now tedious shilly-shallying.
