Steph’s Pics

This week Steph has chosen “FUDGE CUPCAKE MURDER” by Joanne Fluke.

For bakery owner Hannah Swenson, life in Lake Eden, Minnesota, seems to be lacking a certain flavor. It is not that she doesn’t enjoy teaching a weekly “Potluck Cooking” class at the community outreach center, or that she is not excited about her sister Andrea’s bun in the oven---------watching the very pregnant Andrea try to sit on a stool at the Cookie Jar is worth it every time., Maybe it is this year’s sheriff’s election that has got her down. For years Sheriff Grant’s been the iron hand in town but now, Hannah’s brother-in-law Bill is giving the old blowhard the fight of his long, dubious career------and Grant’s not taking it in stride, especially once local polls)and the Cookie Jar gossip) show Bill pulling ahead.

But before anyone can get a taste of victory, things go sour, just as Hannah’s emptying the trash; she makes a very unappetizing discovery. Sheriff Grant’s body is in the trash bin behind the high school where she is teaching her cooking class. And if that was not bad enough, the poor man still has fudge frosting on his shirt from the cupcake she gave him earlier. She had been trying to find the secret ingredient left out of the recipe. Now she has a more important mystery to crack.

“FUDGE CUPCAKE MURDER “is available now at the Jeff Reichelt Memorial Library in Big Sandy.

Extra information at the Library , in September we are going to get Story Hour up and running every Wednesday at 10:30. We also have Lego Club every 2nd and 4th Friday at 11:00.
