One of my favorites
in away I wish Hannah would pick one or another, but I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the next one. Each book gets better and better.

Greatly Disappointed
I was looking for a Romantic Comedy under the Romantic Package genre and this book was popped up with the many other books that are so-called romantic comedy stories. I read the description and saw that the story had the added story line of a murder mystery. Sadly this book had no romance and certainly there was nothing funny about it. As for the mystery... that didn't show up until chapter 9 and by then I was getting bored hearing about the main character and her sister's gym adventures. No one really needs to know that Hanna bought a no calorie fizzy water in peach flavor while she bought her sister one in raspberry flavor.
The story dragged so much that after the 21st chapter I started to jump ahead in the story just so I could find out who killed the victim. And the last chapter was so unnecessary. Also, the leading lady Hanna Swenson comes off as a real selfish woman leading two men on because she superficially likes the good looking detective who bold face lies to her and a bit of a chauvinist and has no faith in her. All the while letting leading on faithful supportive and honorable and dependable Norman just because he's not movie star good looking and is only a dentist. She basically uses Norman to help her when she needs it and to stroke her ego and all the while still crushing on the detective who has no redeeming qualities.
She has two men wanting her but neither of them are getting any more from Hanna than some platonic action. No earth shattering kisses and no tender moments. If you are looking for a romance book this is not it. Audibles has failed by adding this book under the Romance genre listing.

Cream Puff Murder
After reading other reviews of this book. I think that the others were perhaps a bit to harsh. I really enjoyed the book. It wasn't deep or particularly earth shattering, however it was a pleasant story and exactly what I was looking for when I downloaded the book. The story was a bit of a cream puff itself. Light and fluffy, with little substance, but delicious for a hot summer afternoon on the beach.
I will agree that the recipes were a little distracting, but it is easy to skip past. Actually I would have liked to have a text file with the book with the said recipes. I don't think the recipes within the book were distracting enough to take away from the overall book! Quit being so snobby, and enjoy light reading for what it is!

Disappointed
I was looking forward to finding a new mystery series and was disappointed by what I found. Usually a reader expects to get the detective and the case in the first few chapters, but the murder doesn't even happen until the 10th chapter. Character development wasn't strong or believable. I was most interested in some of the recipes...

Why are you reading recipes?
This book is a light listen during these crazy times, but why on earth are they reading recipes? I do not want to hear add 3 eggs to 1 cup of flour, etc. Not necessary for the book at all. Makes me turn the book off every time until I am somewhere that I can skip ahead.

Cream Puff Murder
I have read all of her books and this one doesn't disappoint. Although I am not all that interested in the recipes, I like that it is what sets her books apart and adds to their interest. I like the reader and feel like I know the characters. To me if I can picture what the characters look like, then the author has done their job. The mysteries are cute and keep me interested.

I did not listen to this book for very long. The story was very slow to get going and too much time was spent on cookies receipes. If I had wanted to learn how to make Potato Pancakes and all the toppings I would of looked in a Cookbook!

disappointing, even as fluff
I chose this book because of a sale, and because I needed something to take my mind off of the theory-filled books I read for work. I wasn't expecting much, and wasn't disappointed.
I haven't read any of Fluke's other books, and I probably won't after this. The recipes, while interesting, break up the storyline and are distracting. The characters are two-dimensional and don't invite involvement from the audience at all.
While the narrator, Suzanne Toren, has a lovely voice, the first half of the book was lacking in character delineation. There weren't any accent changes or vocal inflections to show character change. I couldn't tell who was saying what for a good part of the beginning of the book. And speaking of accents: this takes place in a small town in Minnesota with many life-long residents -- but not one Minnesotan accent among them? Not believable.
