K., is the first and last to taste the pastry. P. K. is found dead and was someone plotting against P.K. all along or did Ross dodge a deadly dose of sweet revenge?".

Raspberry Danish Murder

Throwing herself into the holiday season in the aftermath of her husband Ross' disappearance, Hannah Swensen investigates the murder of her husband's television-station assistant, who had been driving Ross' car and working from his office at the time of his death.

Three stars for this ending. Also for Hannah being a 5 year old child. Good gravy she didn’t need a math lesson from her niece, a lecture on how to reconcile her banking, a relating of men to oranges in a dream, and just what in the hell with all this Ross stuff anyway. This whole Ross storyline should be erased from history. Bleh. Girl, just abandon all this dude you really only knew for 5.3 seconds before marrying him (Disney’s Elsa’s got some words for you) and just pick either Mike or Norman. (Norman has the HOUSE you two designed together. Hello?)

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This book is part of the Hannah Swensen series and may be read as a stand alone but and this is a huge but the backstory continues from one book to the next. I for one could not wait to dive right into this  installment of the Hannah Swensen mystery series, mainly because I am dying to know what happened to Ross! Let's be honest , I am not a fan of Ross at all and cannot stand seeing him with Hannah, I also could not stand the way he treated her on the honeymoon it seemed very controlling.  In this book  Hannah is solving the mystery of P.K. , her husband Ross's assistant. Ross has mysteriously vanished into thin air and Hannah is trying to figure out where Ross is. In the meantime P.K. is murdered while driving Ross's car which leaves Hannah busy trying to solve his murder. Hannah is running around town chasing clues to P.K.'s murder and baking up a storm at the same time. I love all of the recipes included in this book because they sound so delicious and decadent! The murder of P.K. and the investigation moves along in the usual Hannah Swensen style of collecting clues and working with Mike and Norman , her two best friends/ex-boyfriends, which is entertaining and one of the reasons that I enjoy this series so much.

The murderer turned out to be a surprise and for reasons that I never saw coming! There is also a big cliffhanger at the end of the book and I really cannot wait for the next book!!

These books are fun and fast read but they don't wow me. The mystery was not a strong as past ones but I did like the case overall. I struggled with hannah in this book but i did like her and how she solved the case. I def like the whole ross mystery and just the fun charm of these novels. It was fun read but i did not adore it.
