Devil's Food Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke, 479 pages


This is like the 10th Hannah Swensen mystery and each one has been a fun read. When the local minister goes on a honeymoon his replacement is an old friend of the minister's family who spent some time as a teenager in the town. He seems like the ideal fill-in until Hannah finds him dead. Investigating his murder, Hannah realizes that the perfect Reverend may not have been as perfect as he seems. Hannah also must deal with her beau Norman being distant ever since his ex-girlfriend Bev has joined his dental practice. Has Norman deserted Hannah for the all-too-beautiful Bev or is there something else bothering Norman?
I always like this murder mysteries that contain lots of fun recipes. I prefer these to the Diane Mott Davidson cooking mysteries because I generally have the ingredients and ability to cook Joanne Fluke's recipes. My favorite recipe so far has been her Chocolate Highlander Cookies in a previous book. My mother-in-law even asked for the recipe!
