A visiting celebrity baker is cut down in the kitchen in the New York Times-bestselling series: "A delightful confection." -- Library Journal

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. 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. She suspects Connie Mac's sweet cable-TV image is a cover for something more bitter.

Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. Turns out America's "Cooking Sweetheart" is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. 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.

Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar's kitchen crime scene off-limits. She's a baker without an oven -- and the Carnival is right around the corner. Her only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business -- by finding the killer herself...

Includes seven original cookie and dessert recipes for you to try!

"Delicious food descriptions and recipes, warm and familiar characters who grow into real people... a vivid picture of the small lake town and a well-crafted mystery provide the ingredients for yet another tempting feast that should satisfy all fans, old and new." -- Publishers Weekly
