Raspberry Danish Murder

Missing. Prolific writer and baker Joanne Fluke ended the twenty-first novel in her Hannah Swensen mystery series with a cliffhanger, and she inserted another frustrating cliffhanger at the conclusion of the twenty-second installment, a novel titled, Raspberry Danish Murder. Hannah’s husband, Ross, has gone missing, and one of Ross’ associates has been murdered. In this installment, there is less sleuthing by Hannah, even more baking and eating by the ensemble, and a general sense of slow progress with the series plot momentum. With all the health warnings about too much sugar, I think I never salivated while reading any of the twenty-nine recipes for sweet goodies in this installment. I may open the next installment to the end of the book to check for yet another cliffhanger, or go on a Swensen diet, and stop reading the series if it remains smothered in powdered sugar and no nutrition.
