Story
When The Cookie Jar becomes the setting of a star-studded TV special about movies filmed in Minnesota, Hannah hopes to shine the spotlight on her bakery - not the unsavory scandal swirling around her personal life. But that’s practically impossible with a disturbing visit from the shifty character she once believed was her one and only love, a group of bodyguards following her every move, and a murder victim in her bedroom.

Story
Hannah has felt as bitter as November in Minnesota since Ross vanished without a trace and left their marriage in limbo. Still, she throws herself into a baking frenzy for the sake of pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving-themed treats while endless holiday orders pour into The Cookie Jar. Hannah even introduces a raspberry Danish pastry to the menu, and P.K., her husband's assistant at KCOW-TV, will be one of the first to sample it. But instead of taking a bite, P.K., who is driving Ross's car and using his desk at work, is murdered. Was someone plotting against P.K. all along or did Ross dodge a deadly dose of sweet revenge?

But before anyone can say "bah, humbug!" a Santa-size sackful of trouble ensues. Like the fact that Lisa's husband will be playing Mr. Claus to his ex-girlfriend Phyllis Bates' Mrs. Claus. Or that before the curtains even go up, Phyllis is found dead in the snow - wearing a costume that the real Mrs. Claus would put on the naughty list.

Story
Hannah is thrilled to be marrying Ross Barton, her college crush. And her excitement only grows when she learns he'll be able to join her on her trip to New York City for the Food Channel's dessert chef contest. They get a taste of the Big Apple before Hannah wins the Hometown Challenge and the producers bring all the contestants to Lake Eden to tape the remainder of the show. It's nerve-wracking enough being judged by Alain Duquesne, a celebrity chef with a nasty reputation. But it's even more chilling to find him stabbed to death in the Lake Eden Inn's walk-in cooler.

But everything comes crashing to a halt when Hannah receives a panicked call from her sister Andrea - Mayor Richard Bascomb has been murdered...and Andrea is the prime suspect.

Publisher's Summary
A romantic seven-day cruise is the perfect start to bakery owner Hannah Swensen's marriage. However, with a murder mystery heating up in Lake Eden, Minnesota, it seems the newlywed's homecoming won't be as sweet as she anticipated....
After an extravagant honeymoon, Hannah's eager to settle down in Lake Eden and turn domestic daydreams into reality. But when her mother's neighbor is discovered murdered in the condo downstairs, reality becomes a nightmarish investigation. Victoria Bascomb, once a renowned stage actress, was active in the theater community during her brief appearance in town...and made throngs of enemies along the way. Did a random intruder murder the woman, as police claim, or was a deadlier scheme at play? As Hannah peels through countless suspects and some new troubles of her own, solving this crime - and living to tell about it - might prove trickier than mixing up the ultimate banana cream pie.

Going further down hill
The character of Hannah is even more sad and depressing than ever, I think the author has given up on quality and just wants money at this point. Hannah has gotten so desperate now that she's married and its pitiful to see the decline. Michelle seems to be the only level headed character, and I would rather hear about her than frumpy woman so desperate to not be alone, she married a moron.

Meh.
It's almost not worth the time it takes to type this, hence the title of this review. If you're like most fans of the series you flat out hate Ross Barton and will be glad that their honeymoon is cut short. That being said, the rest of the story is just bland. None of the fun, none of the feisty female that once was Hannah Swensen. Please Ms. Fluke, get your head out of your arse and put some thought into the series again, or get a better ghostwriter.

If it ain't broke don't fix it!
What would have made Banana Cream Pie Murder better?
Why is it seemingly impossible for writers to allow a main character to have a little happiness. Being married doesn't preclude having a life, but for authors, it seems to be the kiss of death. A very unsatisfactory ending all the way around. My advise, give this one a pass - unless you're a glutton for punishment and love to see the main character in unnessary anguish. AWFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has Banana Cream Pie Murder turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, just books in this series.
Have you listened to any of Suzanne Toren’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Suzanne Toren is a terrific reader. The content is not her fault.
What character would you cut from Banana Cream Pie Murder?
Ross Barton. He should have been left out of all the books if this was going to be his end.
Any additional comments?
You can't unring a bell. So you can't go back and pretend Ross never existed. So, now the reader is left caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place. And that is a very uncomfortable place indeed. Shame, shame, Joanne Fluke.

Very light and slow read.
I'm losing faith in Hannah Swensen and at one time I could hardly wait for them to come out. There was no meat to this story at all - just a lot of fluff with recipes. If you took out the recipe readings the book would hardly qualify for a short story. Is anybody besides me so tired of having to listen to recipes interrupt the story (lame though it is) every time you turn around? It's not good listening ....it's boring me to tears. Wake up and write another compelling mystery or just start writing cook books. This was a waste of time and the whole Ross angle did not belong in the series at all.

I have loved these books but didn’t enjoy this one nearly as much as the others. I’m not sure I am of fan of a ‘married’ Hannah. And I don’t particularly like Ross. I hope the next book is better.
