Where is Ross, Hannah’s husband?
As the Raspberry Danish Murder opens, Hannah’s new husband, Ross, has left town with no explanation. Has he left Hannah or has he been a victim of foul play? Ross’ assistant, P.K., is drugged with candy addressed to Ross. Was Ross or P.K. the intended victim?
Hannah’s whirlwind romance and marriage to Ross detailed in previous books in the series is briefly described here. However, this book can be read as a stand-alone.
Ross seems like an arrogant jerk who was always putting Hannah down. I am surely not alone in wishing Ross was found dead just to get him out of Hannah’s life. There are plenty of enigmatic clues before the surprising conclusion. And, of course, twenty-eight delicious recipes:

This book is recommended for series fans. The recipes sound delicious as usual. Hopefully, Hannah will get her groove back in the next series entry. She is confused, depressed and self-deprecating throughout the Raspberry Danish Murder, which is not what I want in a quick cozy mystery read. Because of that sad tone, this book only receives 3 stars from me.
Thanks to the publisher, Kensington Books, and NetGalley for an advanced copy. This book will be published February 27, 2018.
