From Booklist:

Hannah Swensen’s eighteenth adventure in Lake Eden, Minnesota, begins with a suspicious accident at the opening of a refurbished hotel—Hannah’s famous red-velvet cupcakes are being served in the hotel’s new Red Velvet Lounge. After police-department secretary Barbara, a recurring series character, falls off the roof during the party, Barbara insists her brother pushed her, but no one is aware that she had any siblings. Then Hannah finds the fiancée of one of her former boyfriends at the bottom of a lake and becomes a suspect. Although Hannah’s infallibility defies belief and tries patience, Fluke continues to appeal with delicious recipes and warm, small-town personalities. Series readers will enjoy following the continuing story, and, of course, fans of cupcake-themed mysteries by Jenn McKinlay will savor those red-velvet treats. --Amy Alessio
