Christmas Cupcake Murder A Hannah Swensen Mystery with Recipes! by Joanne Fluke
Starts out with Hannah and she's busy with the holidays, trying to help others who give a lot to the community.
She is also helping her mother with her antiques and trying to help Carrie also...  The real estate agent Al has led them to a business that is no longer running and they check it out to only find a body under the tarps.
Hannah remembers the man from his visit to the shop in the morning and he was very polite and they rush him to the hospital and he recovers....
the people in the village all come together and try to find out where Joe belongs. Love the clues leading up to where that is with help from an ingredient in a recipe.
Lots of recipes are included.  Listing of author's works are highlighted at the beginning of the book, index of recipes at the end and conversion charts at the end.
I received this review copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion

Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen, #1) by Joanne Fluke
Have read almost this whole series and realized I had not read this very first one.
Story starts out with Hannah and she runs the bakery shop and tries to avoid getting set up for a husband from her mother's selections.
We are introduced Mosha her cat and they have bonded. The prior night she had met Norman the local dentist at her mothers dinner table.
He's 15 years older than her.  Ron is the local delivery driver and he shows up daily to get cookies for the day. Claire shows up and she runs the dress shop and their parking lots behind their buildings are next to one another.
Her young helper Lisa is there to help bake and serve the customers...
Her sister Andrea who's married to Bill, a sheriff and they have a daughter Tracy. Andrea runs the local real estate agency.
Some one has shot Ron and Hannah is the one to find him...
Love to find out why Hannah had returned home from teaching... Never knew it!
She visits around town asking others and discovers who has seen him and the times...
After collecting a bunch of clues she confronts the one she thinks did the killing as they draw out a gun at her.
Like how she avoided being shot and they all celebrate with the new deputy. Like learning why Mike had come to their town...

I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
