Banana Cream Pie Murder

BananaCream Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke, 342 pages

“After an extravagant honeymoon, Hannah's eager to settle down in Lake Eden and turn domestic daydreams into reality. But when her mother's neighbor is discovered murdered in the condo downstairs, reality becomes a nightmarish investigation. Victoria Bascomb, once a renowned stage actress, was active in the theater community during her brief appearance in town . . . and made throngs of enemies along the way. Did a random intruder murder the woman as police claim, or was a deadlier scheme at play? As Hannah peels through countless suspects and some new troubles of her own, solving this crime-and living to tell about it-might prove trickier than mixing up the ultimate banana cream pie . . .” While I enjoyed this book immensely and loved a lot of the recipes, this book made me uneasy through the entirety of the story.  I felt like the story was thrown off from the beginning since Hannah didn’t discover the body and the book never fully recovered from that for me.  I am still invested in the series and would recommend this to anyone who likes mysteries and baking, but I felt like this has been one of the weakest offerings in the series.
