I read this after reading one of the later books in the series and I liked this better. I felt like the characters were much more understandable in this earlier book. Not my favorite cozy mystery series, but an enjoyable listen. I especially like the recipes and descriptions of cooking. The recipes are real life recipes that I'm looking forward to trying in my own kitchen. Especially after hearing about so many cookies - I'm looking forward to having some!
This went on far too long and a lot of the plot was confusing with Hannah jumping all over the place. There were way too many characters to keep track of, and none of them really had a clear voice. I might continue with the series at some point, I'm hoping much of the confusion goes away with the next books and all the characters were just introductions
