Gingerbread Cookie Murder

By: Joanne Fluke, Laura Levine, Leslie Meier

Narrated by: Suzanne Toren

In this batch of sweet, short murder mysteries, three cooks don’t spoil the broth.

New York Times best-selling author Joanne Fluke pens the title story, in which a box of Hannah Swensen’s gingerbread cookies is found near the corpse of her neighbor.

Popular co-authors Laura Levine and Leslie Meier offer “The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies” and “Gingerbread Cookies and Gunshots”, respectively.

Together, these three cozies will entertain listeners while compelling them to think twice about a cherished holiday treat.

Critic reviews

"Fluke, Levine, and Meier each offer a yuletide whodunit treat.... In Fluke's wry "Gingerbread Cookie Murder," Hannah Swensen of the Cookie Jar in Lake Eden, Minn., wants her neighbor Ernie Kusak to simply lower the volume on his too loud Christmas outdoor display, but she soon discovers Ernie with his head bashed in. In Levine's hilarious "The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies," Jaine Austen's holiday stay at her parents' home in the Tampa Vistas retirement community is enlivened by the murder of elderly lothario Dr. Preston McCay, whose neck gets broken during his star turn in an amateur play called The Gingerbread Cookie That Saved Christmas. Rounding out the volume is Meier's less cheery but poignant "Gingerbread Cookies and Gunshots," about Maine reporter Lucy Stone's investigation of a four-year-old boy's disappearance."

Great Humor!

The first & second stories were so funny!
Being a senior citizen, I could relate!!! Enjoy!

Pretty good.

I enjoyed all of these stories, but my favorite hands down is definitely Hannah!! The humor was real and it was lovely.

Loved Joanne Fluke Mystery

I loved the Joanne Fluke story with Hannah, not crazy about the other stories. I also love the narrator for the Hannah stories.

Great Story Telling

If you like a little murder mystery with your Christmas these are great. The stories flow with just enough humor. You can visualize as they unfold . And you can make the treats you hear about becouse the receptors are included at the end of the book.
Enjoy!!

so-so

Middle book ho- hum. The Jo Ann Fluke novel was good as usual. The middle book was kind of silly. There are a ton of recipes!
