Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unraveling the mystery of her cat Moisheâs recent strange behavior, Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But sheâll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, whoâs in the midst of preparing for a big family reunion. Everyone is delighted when Lisaâs long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years.
Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion. Heâs almost as popular as Hannahâs scrumptious carrot cake, which is also Gusâs favorite dessert. But the next morning, as the whole family gathers for the group photo, one person is missing. Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus, but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion, she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floorâand Gusâs corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest!
Now Hannahâs got to sift through a long list of suspects to find a killerâeven if it could mean a recipe for her own demise âŚ
