I loved all of these Christmas novellas featuring gingerbread cookies. In the first, Hannah Swenson searches for a murder suspect after her condo neighbor is found with his head bashed in next to her box of gingerbread cookies. Since he had been putting on an extremely obnoxious Christmas music and laser light display show (which seems to be a thing in the Midwest) he had plenty of annoyed neighbors to pick from as suspects. This was classic, wonderful Hannah Swenson, with great characters in every scene, and I enjoyed it immensely.

In the second, Jane Austin is picked to help with a play at her parent’s retirement community. Unfortunately, the deceased had many jilted lovers and the suspect list is long. This one was delightfully snarky, had a great mystery, and I will definitely be checking out more books by the author (the other two are already on my must-read list.)

In the third novella, Lucy Stone is preparing for Christmas, lamenting the fact that not all of her children will be able to come home for the holiday, when a young boy is kidnapped outside his home. Nemo, (who we’ve met in previous books) had just chatted with Lucy at the supermarket and begged his parents for a cookie. But something seems fishy (other than Nemo’s name) about his parents’ living situation and as the town grows increasingly frantic trying to find the lost child, Lucy takes action.

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

Gingerbread Cookie Murder presents three tales of Hannah Swenson, Jaine Austen, & Lucy Stone. Hannah’s story is intense with a her finding yet another murdered person after trying to get Christmas music turned down. Full of Hannah and her snooping ways and family, this story is hard to put down. The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies, is my first introduction of the character of Janie Austin. Upon visiting her parents for the holidays, Janie stumbles upon a murder and a retirement center full of suspects. This story is funny with her dad trying to help her solve the case, her mom spoiling her cat and eccentric characters however Janie often complains about her clothing found that she wears which makes the reader question why isn’t she wearing her own clothing. The last story that of Lucy Stone (also my first introduction to the character), is different from the other two stories as the story has Lucy as a secondary character whom has no real impact into the storyline. Although interesting to read, it lacks relatability to the reader making it hard to not get bored which is the reasoning behind this review. All in all, Gingerbread Cookie Murder is an ok book. ( )

Gingerbread Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke
She has promised reindeer cookies for her sister's class...the music from next door is getting to her and she gives Ernie some cookies and he promises to turn music down...

Older book as Norman's associate Beverly has yet to arrive so he can take off more days to paint.
Lot of the regulars are in this book and I'm very familiar with them.
Hannah asks a lot of people about the man as she collects clues as to who could've murdered him.
Amazing how things play out, so unexpected!
Includes lots of recipes.

Danger of Gingerbread Cookies by Laura Levine
Felt really lost with the characters of this story, maybe have read a book of hers about 20 years ago.
Women are eating and they realize they are all engaged to Preston and he claims he never asked them to marry him.
Next morning she leaves her cat at home with her mother and heads to do some exercise, walking and then breakfast.
Her father has a Christmas tree that's missing the top tier and he puts the remote on and it twirls and then falls down.
Jaine starts questioning others to find out who the murderer is...
Her dad wants to help her, as an accessory...he trails her around town...
Some scenes are very comical, includes recipes.

Gingerbread Cookies and Gunshots by Leslie Meier
This story is about a child that is missing and his father is also til they find the father and he's dead.
Lucy Stone is finding out answers to the questions and figures out who had a hand in it.
Recipes included. Love what happens Christmas morning.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

Gingerbread bread cookies and Christmas are the common threads in these three mysteries. Cozy readers are likely familiar with all three authors, but if one particular series drew you to the book, do yourself a favor and read all three. All are equally interesting and enjoyable. ( )

Another three author book. Hannah still good, wish I had read the story in order...next time. Jaine Austen is growing on me and Prozac her cat is a character. Lucy Stone is also growing on me and that worries me because there are a lot of books in her series and I only have the first two and can`t spend anymore money on books for a couple months. The budget is bust. ( )
