Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke

This is like the millionth book about Hannah Swensen, cookie shop owner and amateur sleuth. Seriously, how many times can the same person find a dead body, in a small town, in less than two years, all involving baked goods?

This one involves a key lime pie at the fair. If you've read one of these books you know how the rest unfolds. So why do I keep buying these things? Because I'm holding out in the hopes that Hannah will start to act her age (she's only like 30 or something) instead of like the old spinster she's written as, and that she might choose between her TWO boyfriends and finally see some action!!! Seriously, two hot dudes waiting around for a stubborn and often annoying chick who isn't even that hot and is afraid to embrace the technology of the 21st century! I know this is fiction, but come on!! Maybe I missed something and all these books are supposed to take place in the early 90's. Yeah, that's got to be it.

Hey DBC ladies!

We can blog now! We can post blogs about the stuff we're reading and other stuff that may be going on. So start posting! And don't forget this month we're supposed to read a sci-fi/fantasy book.

The last book I finished was Cherry Cheesecake Murder by Joann Fluke.
It's the 8th book in the Hannah Swensen murder series. Hannah's a bit cheesy and most of the time I think she acts too much like an old lady for a woman in her thirties. Then again, I act like an old lady and I'm in my (is 26 considered late?) twenties. And she acts like she's really smart and everyone else thinks she is, yet it takes her forever to realize who the murderer is. That's kinda lame. Anyways, they're easy books to read and I go through them pretty quickly and I like the recipes that are throughout the books. It's pretty much Murder She Wrote with baking. And those are two things I enjoy.
