I was at a conference and someone saw me reading Plum Lovin' by Janet Evanovich. She said she loved her books and then told me that Joanne Fluke, the author or Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, writes books similar to Evanovich. Naturally, my curiosity was peaked and I had to check it out.
The book is set in a small Minnesota town (already I love it) and follows Heather Swensen as she bakes cookies and tries to help her brother-in-law solve a murder. There is a cast of quirky characters and there are recipes scattered throughout the book.
In comparison to Evanovich, I didn't have any laugh out loud belly rumblers or cringe when a car was blown up and there wasn't the romantic element that I have come to love from Evanovich. However, my interest was peaked enough at the end of the first book to reserve the next book (Strawberry Shortcake Murder) from the library.
