A New York Times bestselling author, Fluke is considered the queen of the culinary mystery and her Hannah Swensen series has sold over six million copies in print and has been translated into seven languages. Fluke has baked over 500,000 chocolate chip cookies for fans since the series debuted in 2000, not to mention the countless pies, cakes, muffins and other sweets. Unique to Fluke's books, recipes are included. However, it's not just the desserts that keep readers clamoring for her next novel.

In "Sugar Cookie Murder" the holidays are the icing on the cake for Hannah who is surrounded by her loved ones and has all the ingredients for a perfect Christmas until murder is added to the mix. The annual Christmas Buffet is the final test of the recipes Hannah has collected for the Lake Eden Holiday Buffet cookbook. While baking the day's goodies at The Cookie Jar, the evening's plans begin to jell. There is mystery aplenty among the guests with everyone appearing just a bit on the odd side. But when Hannah's mother's antique Christmas cake knife disappears just as a guest at the dinner is discovered murdered, everyone becomes a suspect. Suddenly - and with good timing - a blizzard blows in allowing Hannah the time to employ her investigative skills while testing the ingredients that she has to work with: half the town of Lake Eden and a murder. As the snowdrifts get higher, it is up to Hannah to dig out all the clues and make sure that this white Christmas doesn't bring any more deadly tidings.

"Sugar Cookie Murder" is a Brad Krevoy Television and Stephanie Germain Productions Production. Brad Krevoy and Stephanie Germain are the executive producers. "Sugar Cookie Murder" is based on Joanne Fluke's Sugar Cookie Murder. Written by Donald Martin.
