"I have enjoyed reading all of the books in this series. They are easy, fun and predictable reads which contain great recipes. The only problem i have is that Hannah needs to hurry up and pick between her 2 boyfriends. "
— Ginger (4 out of 5 stars)
“A cup of coffee and a homemade treat are the perfect accompaniments for this sweet, uncomplicated story.”
— RT Book Reviews“Carrot Cake Murder is every bit as fun and entertaining as the previous nine Hannah Swensen mysteries.”
— Bookreporter.com“Filled with juicy scandal [and] delightfully eccentric characters...The ending will leave cozy fans gasping for breath.”
— Publishers Weekly" Another decent mystery filler book for me. Nothing stupendous, just a nice entertaining read. "
— Jessica, 5/20/2011" This is probably my least favorite of the Hannah Swensen books so far - just thought the murder victim was icky. "
— Diane, 5/3/2011" As usual, fun. On to the next one! "

— Mich, 4/6/2011" Like all these books, I enjoyed it. It's not classic literature, but it is light-hearted mystery. A good and quick read. "
— Kristen, 3/21/2011" Fun read. Kinda predictable - but enjoyed the recipes! "
— Cindy, 1/15/2011" good book-yummy recipes-tried the salmon cakes for lunch today, very good!! "
— Holly, 1/8/2011" This book isn't intense or overly complex; it's an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. I love Joanne Fluke's characters and can't wait to try her recipes. "
— Tracy, 12/31/2010" I love mysteries, whether they're darker or lighter. This series tends to gravitate to the lighter side. It's entertaining and captivating while it lasts, and isn't that what a book is supposed to do? I would probably never read it again but I'll probably write down the recipes. "
— Nancy, 12/24/2010" Always a fun and easy read. "
— Diane, 12/15/2010" Ok, I'll give it 2.5 stars. Maybe even 2.7. This is a great book for easy, light reading. There was a lot of (in my opinion) pointless chatter for dialog, which I had to skim over. This consisted of about a third of the book, so a lot of it was a wasted read. "
— Audra, 12/6/2010" Maybe I am getting to used to her books "
— Charmaine, 11/22/2010" Again, don't read these for the twisting plot - there isn't much. But the local is enjoyable. On the order of The Cat Who ... books. "
