Cozies for Adults

 

hoopla Author Spotlight: Joanna Fluke

Christmas Cupcake Murder by Joanna FlukeRead the books that inspired the beloved Murder She Baked series on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel! Fun fact: According to her website, Joanne Fluke has baked over 500,000 chocolate chip cookies for fans of her Hannah Swensen mysteries since the series debuted in 2000, not to mention countless pies, cakes, muffins and other sweets. However, it’s not just the desserts that keep readers clamoring for her next novel.

Like Hannah Swensen, Joanne Fluke grew up in a small town in rural Minnesota where her neighbors were friendly, the winters were fierce, and the biggest scandal was the spotting of unidentified male undergarments on a young widow's clothesline. How cozy is that?!
