Devil's Food Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke

All of you Fluke fans know what to expect when a new book is published. The main characters remain the same - which is what makes her books so easy to go back to! So Hannah is still running the Cookie Jar and torn between the dentist Norman and the cop Mike. I would think that someone would eventually get tired of the triangle! To spice things up for the readers Norman has brought in a partner who is also a former fiancee. Hannah is of course jealous. But on to the murder! The victim this time is a visiting Lutheran minister who had lived with Grandma Knudson for a while - it's okay, he was a kid at the time. He is staying with her again and enjoying her baking. The last thing he tastes on this earth is her Devil's food Cake - not a bad way to go.
It's another enjoyable murder mystery. And by the way, I had to try the recipe for the cake. It was really, really good. I recommend having a big glass of milk with it.
