It was rushed and Hannah didn’t even pretend to let the police track the killer. The plot has subtle humor and it gives readers readers something to noodle over among the villagers we’ve come to know and love. Of course she survives, but the fun along the way keeps readers in suspense in between her normal shenanigans.īy keeping the count of characters smaller, we are treated to more in-depth relationships among Hannah’s sisters and boyfriends (yes, she has a few). Is it his new younger wife? Her friendly brother? An angry employee? Or someone else with a grudge? Hannah dives into the investigation behind Mike’s back and finds herself right in the middle of mayhem. It’s the tenth body she’s found in about two years (yikes, stay away from her!), but still gives her the frights. After the mall’s Christmas party, Hannah finds him face down on the corner of the street in his Santa suit. Unfortunately, he’s a bit of a tightwad who rubs some of his employees and the villagers the wrong way. Hannah’s preparing for Christmas in Lake Eden by volunteering as an elf to help the local department store owner who is playing Santa Claus this season. I’ll keep reading the series, but nothing really changes in the overall series with this book, so if you skip it, not a huge deal. Given this is only 100 pages, and just a teaser in between full-length books, I adjusted my expectations, but it still fell a little short for me. |1 .3 stars to Joanne Fluke’s Candy Cane Murder, a short novella edition for the holidays between books 9 and 10 of the “Hannah Swensen” mystery series. |a Levine, Laura, |d 1943- |t Dangers of candy canes. |a Fluke, Joanne, |d 1943- |t Candy cane murder. |a Detective and mystery stories, American. |a Stone, Lucy |c (Fictitious character) |0 |v Fiction. |a Swensen, Hannah |c (Fictitious character) |0 |v Fiction. |a Austen, Jaine |c (Fictitious character) |0 |v Fiction. |a A collection of three holiday mysteries by Joanne Fluke, Laura Levine, and Leslie Meyer. |t Candy cane murder / |r Joanne Fluke - |t Dangers of candy canes / |r Lura Levine - |t Candy canes of Christmas past / |r Leslie Meier. |a Includes original dessert recipes for Christmas Spritz Cookies and Sand Tarts. |a Candy cane murder / |c Joanne Fluke, Laura Levine, Leslie Meier.
