Includes seven original cookie and dessert recipes for you to try! Her only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business-by finding the killer herself… She’s a baker without an oven-and the Carnival is right around the corner.

Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar’s kitchen crime scene off-limits. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake destroyed-and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah’s famous blueberry muffins. Turns out America’s “Cooking Sweetheart” is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Hannah’s suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac’s limo rolls into town. She suspects Connie Mac’s sweet cable-TV image is a cover for something more bitter. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac-a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. Preparations are under way for Lake Eden, Minnesota’s annual Winter Carnival-and Hannah Swensen will be extra busy at her shop, The Cookie Jar. A visiting celebrity baker is cut down in the kitchen in the New York Times-bestselling series: “A delightful confection.”- Library Journal
