Title: Fudge Cupcake Murder (Hannah Swensen #5)
Author: Joanne Fluke
Number of Pages: 304
Genre: Mystery
Book Number/Goal: 69/75 in 2009

Review: Forget the mystery (though it was a very good read) I can't wait to try out the recipes in this book, namely the fudge icing and the raspberry chocolate cupcakes! Yumm.

Title: Sugar Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen #6)
Author: Joanne Fluke
Number of Pages: 380 (200 for the mystery, 174 for the cook book)
Genre: Mystery
Book Number/Goal: 70/75 in 2009

Review: This is by far the shortest of the mysteries thus far, which was quite surprising since the book was so thick. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that half of the book is a mystery, and the other half of the book is the Lake Eden Holliday Buffet Cookbook that has been a major plot point for the last couple of books. Even thought the mystery was on the shorter side, I thought it was well done and I'm looking forward to starting the next book in the series. The recipes look really good too, and I fully intend to try a lot of them out. I just love small-town home-cookin’.
