When a rival bakery opens in Lake Eden, Minnesota, Hannah Swensen’s Cookie Jar feels the pressure, especially on Groundhog Day when her shop is nearly empty.

The tension peaks at Lisa’s wedding, where Shawna and Detective Mike Kingston abruptly cancel. After the ceremony, Hannah discovers Shawna’s body, a shot victim, in the still-lit Magnolia Blossom Bakery. With the town’s appetite for suspicion and the Cookie Jar’s decline at stake, Hannah must investigate. Partnering with friends and using her baking instincts, she hunts the culprit who knew the right “ingredients” for the crime. The novel interweaves sweet recipes with suspense in a charming, small‑town mystery.
