Apple Turnover Murder / Joanne Fluke 292 p.

Hannah Swensen makes her 13th appearance in this cozy mystery. The Mayor and his wife commission Hannah to bake 1100 cookies for a three day charity fundraiser. Lisa, her partner at the Cookie Jar, volunteers them to bake Apple Turnovers too. Hannah's very former love interest will be the MC from her grad school days. Hannah is dating dentist Norman Rhodes and local sheriff Mike Kingston. So she's not interested-- she hopes he has forgotten her. She warns off her former graduate school advisor when he turns his attention towards her sister. Naturally she stumbles over him backstage dead -- holding her apple turnover (recipe included). Hannah narrows down the suspects hopefully before anyone else turns up dead. A delightful mixture of murder and scrumptious recipes include mocha nut butterballs and chocolate marshmallow cookie bars. I'm hoping to make the turnovers.

Readers of Fluke's culinary mysteries may like Diane Mott Davidson works (lots of good recipes with Davidson too).
