Fudge Cupcake Murder<\/a><\/em> (2004) Joanne Fluke<\/a> (Hannah Swensen)<\/p>\n

\"Fudge<\/a>Book 5.<\/p>\n

When the sheriff turns up dead, Hannah’s brother-in-law is accused of killing his political opponent and since Andrea is stuck on bed-rest, it’s up to Hannah to find the killer quickly–before her brother-in-law drives her sister crazy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got some other news, too.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDoc Knight moved up my due date to the third week in November.\u201d Hannah frowned. \u201cCan he do that?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cSure.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The things Hannah doesn’t know amuses me.<\/p>\n

And I do love the weird signs of the time period.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes later, Hannah hung up the phone. Her neck was sore from cradling the phone between her head and her shoulder while she talked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They wanted me to turn on MTV while they were eating their cookies and they were really disappointed when I told them that we didn\u2019t have cable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And this cracked me up.<\/p>\n

She even compared him to an older version of Kenneth Branagh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since that would be today’s Kenneth Branagh.<\/p>\n

The mysteries are just fine, but I knew pretty quickly who the murderer was. And I got really irked when she figured out who the murdered was and just… hung around waiting for them to show up.<\/p>\n

I do love reading the recipes.<\/p>\n

Hannah tended to regard being caught without pen and paper as a sin even worse than substituting margarine for butter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
