"On the recommendation of a friend, I decided to try this author. Hannah Swensen is a baker (and coffee lover!) who gets involved in mysteries in her Lake Eden, MI hometown. Willa, a fellow bake contest judge is found dead one night at the local fair. Hannah catches part of the crime and is determined to have the criminal come to justice. Infused with funny family characters, the attention of 2 men and her beloved cat Moishe, the story is witty and cute, but not necessarily a thriller mystery. A few scary and suspenseful parts, but mostly a nice small town story scattered with recipes."

— Publishers Weekly“Another tasty offering in the Hannah Swensen mystery series...Suzanne Toren has mastered the tonal patterns of Minnesotans and employs a fine sense of pacing.”
— AudioFile" This was ok. I wish the author would further develop the characters. Nine books into the series and they're still pretty one-dimensional. I'm not sure if I'll read any more of these. "
— Nichole, 2/7/2014" Good fun light read. I love any book with recipes. The oatmeal cookies were amazing! "
— Lori, 1/23/2014" Two fluff reads in a row--now I'll have to turn to something meatier. I do enjoy Joanne Fluke's mysteries but it's odd that as many as I've read I have never tried one of her recipes that are included. I must do that one of these days. "
— Victoria, 1/21/2014" These books are a nice change from my usual read. Not sure if I'll read the whole series, but I like some of the main characters. "
— Samantha, 1/19/2014" Always a treat! A little slower to get going than the others. "
— Shawna, 1/17/2014" Each chapter ends with a recipe. The murder story was silly. This was an audio book. "
— Jeffrey, 1/12/2014" The series is perdicable, but what I liked about Key Lime Pie Murder is the story line is revolving more around Hannah and her relationship with Mike and Norman, not just around the murder. "
— Norma, 1/11/2014" Just a relaxing fun read "
— Sandi, 1/2/2014" In the key lime pie murder it probably had the scariest part out of these books that i've read. i really liked it, it was a fun read to get me through my homework breaks. "
