    Product Description:

    Summertime has finally arrived in Lake Eden, Minnesota, and Hannah Swensen, the beloved owner of The Cookie Jar bakery, is looking forward to warm, lazy days filled with ice cream and picnics with friends. However, her plans take a dark turn when a family reunion unexpectedly turns deadly. In Carrot Cake Murder, it’s up to Hannah to unravel the mystery and find the killer before it’s too late.

    As Hannah juggles her busy bakery duties and investigates the strange behavior of her cat, Moishe, she makes time for her business partner, Lisa, who is gearing up for a big family reunion. The excitement peaks with the surprise arrival of Lisa’s long-lost Uncle Gus, who has been missing for twenty-five years. His return ignites a buzz among the family, with everyone eager to hear his tales of success and riches. Uncle Gus quickly becomes the star of the reunion, just as Hannah’s scrumptious carrot cake takes center stage, which happens to be his favorite dessert.

    But the festivities come to a screeching halt when tragedy strikes. On the morning of the group photo, Uncle Gus is nowhere to be found. When Hannah ventures out to locate him, her search leads to a chilling discovery: two slices of her famous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floor, and Gus’s lifeless body with an ice pick lodged in his chest. As Hannah starts to dig deeper, she uncovers a web of secrets from Gus’s past that suggests not everyone was thrilled about his return. With a long list of suspects and a potential recipe for disaster, Hannah must act fast to solve the mystery before she becomes the next victim.
