So you like books and baking? If you like cozy murder mysteries, try Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swensen Mysteries with Recipes. I suggest starting with Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, the first in the series, because Joanne lets time pass and her characters age and grow. There’s a recipe after almost every chapter, sometimes more than one if they go together, and they’re for everything from breakfasts to desserts. I’ve been baking some of her cookies for a few months now–the Mystery Cookies from Lemon Meringue Pie Murder have been a real hit with everyone who’s tasted them.
I came across those books a couple of months ago and I immediately bought the first one because it seemed so perfect for me! I’m ashamed to say I still haven’t read it, though, but I hope to get around to it soon. Thank you for taking the time to leave that kind recommendation! ❤
