Synopsis

Hannah is busy juggling whipping up treats for the chamber of commerce booth at the Tri-County fair and judging the baking contest. But when Hannah discovers a fellow bake contest judge dead alongside an upended key lime pie, it's up to her to find the murderer before a carnival ride could be her last …

It promises to be a busy week for Hannah Swensen. Not only is she whipping up treats for the chamber of commerce booth at the Tri-County fair, she’s also judging the baking contest; acting as a magician’s assistant for her business partner’s husband; trying to coax Moishe, her previously rapacious feline, to end his hunger strike, and performing her own private carnival act by juggling the demands of her mother and sisters.

With so much on her plate, it’s no wonder Hannah finds herself on the midway only moments before the fair closes for the night. After hearing a suspicious thump, she goes snooping—only to discover Willa Sunquist, a student teacher and fellow bake contest judge, dead alongside an upended key lime pie. But who would want to kill Willa and why?

Now Hannah needs to crank up the heat, hoping that Willa’s killer will get rattled and make a mistake. If that happens she intends to be there, even if it means getting on a carnival ride that could very well be her last …

“Yummy … Fluke has developed a charming supporting cast who all feel like friends by the time the murder is solved. The dozens of tempting recipes Fluke includes are an added treat.”—Publishers Weekly

Goodreads review by James on August 14, 2017

3 stars to Joanne Fluke's Key Lime Pie Murder. The 9th book in the Hannah Swensen series delivers good cozy fun and is a simple, quick and easy read for fans. But I'm getting a bit concerned with the love story Hannah can't resolve -- choose one, Hannah, or abandon them for Ross! Story The carniva......more

There was only one thing to do. Perhaps it was the wrong thing, but that had never stopped her before. Hannah has been chosen as one of the judges for the baking contest at the Tri-County Fair in Lake Eden, Minnesota. While her sisters are competing for the pageant and the mother-and-daughter beauty......more

Goodreads review by Michalyn on October 18, 2008

Boring book, boring town, great recipes. That for me sums up Key Lime Pie Murder. I usually love books centered around food because they tend to be charming and incorporate a dash of sensuality. This was not the case with this book. Hannah Swensen is the full-time owner of a local bakery and part-tim......more

Goodreads review by Wendi on October 03, 2017

I'm still enjoying this series (it keeps my reading balanced when I'm also halfway through a horror novel or psychological thriller), but I have to wonder about the murder per capita in such a small town. And then there's Hannah's mom, who calls half a dozen times a day, sometimes at six in the morn......more

Goodreads review by Luffy Sempai on February 12, 2014

I'll be a very happy person if all my cozy mysteries are as good as this one. After scoring 1 star in the last 3 books - after which I took a long hiatus from reading these books - in the series, this one surprised me. The irritating characters were not themselves, and that helped. Also I'm quite s......more
