Eh rushed and could be better

The surprise third guy seemed rushed as did this whole wedding. I am definitely in the "This has to be a ghostwriter and they aren't as good" camp. Some of the recipes looked Fab though.

Hannah Swensen’s getting married—but first she has to solve the murder of a notorious celebrity chef—in this entry in the New York Times-bestselling series. Folks in Lake Eden, Minnesota, may have had their doubts, but at long last, Hannah Swensen is getting married! And her excitement only grows when she learns the man of her dreams will be able to join her on her trip to New York City for the Food Channel’s dessert chef contest. They get a taste of the Big Apple before Hannah wins the Hometown Challenge—and the producers bring all the contestants to Lake Eden to tape the remainder of the show. It’s nerve-wracking enough being judged by Alain Duquesne, a celebrity chef with a nasty reputation. But it’s even more chilling to find him stabbed to death in the Lake Eden Inn’s walk-in cooler—before he’s even had a chance to taste Hannah’s Butterscotch Sugar Cookies! Now Hannah has not only lost her advantage, she’ll have to solve a mystery with more layers than a five-tiered wedding cake… “Fluke’s cast is lively and winsome.”—Publishers Weekly

I did enjoy this book. I did not predict the end or the killer. Still very formulaic but i loved coming back to this world. It is a fast pace read and like a good pair of jeans.
