"The Cookie Jar" - a series


I'm reading Joanne Fluke's - Hannah Swensen Mystery series.  Hannah owns/operates The Cookie Jar, a local bakery in small town Minnesota, where she melts pounds and pounds of butter and occasionally finds 'bodies.'  On occasion, there are parallels to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum; however, both female sleuths are 'ladies on the pages' you should meet.  Oh yes, and the guys - there are always two guys to complicate matters...

Throughout the pages of each novel Hannah shares her bakery recipes.  I've been testing a sampling.  Delicious, absolutely delicious!

The books are a fun read - the cookies are simple and quite tasty.  I encourage you to undertake the adventure...
