Pie To Die For: A Hannah Swensen Mystery

In this new mystery installment set in the picturesque town of Lake Eden, the life of baker and amateur sleuth Hannah Swensen takes an unexpected turn when a murder shakes the community. What begins as a typical day at Hannah’s café, The Cookie Jar, quickly turns into a race against time when one of her customers is found dead. But this is no ordinary customer—it’s the theatrical rival of Delores, Hannah’s mother, putting the entire family directly under public scrutiny.

The local police begin investigating the crime, but Hannah knows she can’t sit idly by when her mother’s reputation is on the line. Delores, known for her strong personality and active role in the town’s cultural events, becomes the prime suspect due to her long-standing rivalry with the victim. Faced with this situation, Hannah decides to take matters into her own hands and launches her own parallel investigation.

As in previous installments, Hannah combines her keen observational skills with her deep knowledge of the town’s residents. As she delves into the life of the deceased, she uncovers secrets, hidden tensions, and potential motives among several members of the theater circle. The story grows more complex as new clues suggest the murder may have had deeper, more personal roots than anyone initially suspected.
