This is the 8th book in the series and this one was a little slow for me in some parts. It was nice to see a new man come into Hannah's life even for a brief time. Norman and Mike needed some jealous time on their hands. Hannah does it again and solves the murder of a womanizing director that every one seems to hate. Her old college friends Ross and Lynne come to town who involved in the movie that is being made in Lake Eden. Things start to go wrong and Hannah is there to pick up the pieces. Of course there are some great recipes as always in the book that seem to be great to try. Like I said earlier there are some slow parts and would have given it a 3.5 star rating.
