Books like Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke
Hannah Swensen, the beloved baker of Sweet Schmear, is in the middle of a hectic Fair season—she’s preparing treats for the chamber of commerce booth, judging the baking contest, assisting her business partner’s magician, coaxing her cat Moishe into peace, and attempting a private carnival act. Just before the fair closes, a suspicious thump leads her to the body of Willa Sunquist, a student teacher and fellow judge, lying beside an overturned key lime pie. Now Hannah must solve the mystery of why Willa was murdered, all while navigating the chaos of the midway and her personal responsibilities. With the competition in full swing, the stakes are higher than ever, and Hannah’s knack for baking and sleuthing may just be the key to catching the killer before the fair ends.
