Negative Positive
Title: A pleasant but conventional cosy
Review: Hannah Swensen is the baker of delicious pastries, as well as the amatuer sleuth that keeps running into dead bodies in a small Minnesota town. Her investigative technique is straightforward and not very imaginative, but the delicious recipes and the warm personal interplay make it for a satisfying and occasionally funny read. One or two of the supporting characters are interesting, but most others are rather flat plot devices, including the victim.The book does not demand much exertion from the reader, and neither strives for nor achieves a deep emotional engagement, but it works admirably as a cosy diversion.
