Negative Positive
Title: Hannah Like Coffee!
Review: Did you know that? It must be important, because Ms. Fluke mentions it about 8 times in every one of these books. Anyway, this is another preposterous, cliche-ridden "mystery" that relies heavily on coincidence after coincidence. There are so many characters...Paul, Bill, Mike, Isobel, Andrea, Janie, Alex, Sally, Luanne, Norman, Delores, Greg, Tracey, Lisa, Lisa's father, etc. etc...that I found it difficult to keep track of all of them. The author has a habit of starting a subplot and then never going back to it. Like Norman and Hannah designing a dream house for a contest. It's mentioned once or twice and then is swallowed up in an endless, painfully predictable web of cookies, murder, cookies, romance, cookies, murder, cookies. Oh and plucky Hanna solves the case. Bottom line: I knew the murderer after the first chapter. And you will too. So another Mystery Fail for Ms. Fluke.
