APPLE TURNOVER MURDER
Book ID/图书代码： 14780009B32299
English Summary/英文概要： It’s June in Lake Eden, Minnesota, and for Hannah Swensen, that means bridal showers galore, plus a massive fundraising event in need of confections--not to mention a killer who never learned that charity begins at home...
Early summer brings plenty of work for Hannah, even before Mayor Bascomb’s wife drops by The Cookie Jar to place an order ...for eleven-hundred cookies! Stephanie Bascomb is organizing an elaborate three-day event to support local charities, and though it’s a worthy cause, Hannah almost flips when her business partner, Lisa, suggests setting up an apple turnover stand. Hannah’s never made a turnover--but, pushover that she is, she places her faith in Lisa’s mother-in-law’s recipe and agrees to be a magician’s assistant in the fundraiser’s talent show...
Dozens of pastries and one hideous purple dress later, Hannah has to admit that stepping out of her comfort zone has been fun as well as profitable. The only snag is the show’s host, community college professor Bradford Ramsey. Hannah and her younger sister Michelle each had unfortunate romantic relationships with Ramsey, and when the cad comes sniffing around between acts, Hannah tells him off. But when the curtain doesn’t go up, she discovers Ramsey backstage--dead as a doornail with a turnover in his hand...
Now, to protect her reputation and Michelle’s, Hannah must get to the bottom of the professor’s bitter end. There are plenty of scorned suspects, including an ex-wife who feels cheated in more ways than one, and a prominent local who may have been using Ramsey to avenge her own randy spouse. But who was unstable enough to snuff out Professor Love? A killer who’s flakier than puff pastry--and far more dangerous...
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 明尼苏达州伊甸湖的六月，对汉娜•斯文森（Hannah Swensen）来讲，既要新婚，还要筹备盛大的慈善活动筹集衣物，更不要说一个从不了解慈善始于家的杀人犯．．．．
汉娜在初夏的时候有许多工作要做，甚至还要先于巴斯克波（Bascomb）市长妻子顺道拜访给饼干罐排序．．．总共有1100罐！斯黛芙妮•巴斯克波（Stephanie Bascomb）正在计划着一个三天头的周密的活动以表示对当地慈善事业的支持。尽管这是一项意义非凡的事业，当汉娜的生意伙伴丽莎（Lisa）建议开设一个苹果派小摊的时候，汉娜并不当真。汉娜从没赚过钱，但是聪明的是，她相信丽莎奶奶的秘方，甚至答应在慈善表演现场做魔术师的助手．．．
汉娜历经面团大战和一条丑恶的裙子后，不得不承认离开这块舒适区才是明智又有效益的决定。唯一的问题出在晚会的主持人，社区大学教授布莱德福德•莱姆熙（Bradford Ramsey）。汉娜和她的小妹妹米歇尔（Michelle）都和他有过不幸的感情经历。当表演中途有人嗤之以鼻的时候，汉娜警告他离她远点。但是当幕帘升不上去，她发现莱姆熙死在后台，手里握着一个苹果派．．．
此时，为了保护自己和妹妹的声誉，汉娜必须深入教授致死的原因。有许多不堪一击的怀疑，诸如他愤愤不平的前妻-一位杰出的当地人，她很有可能利用莱姆熙报复她滥情的丈夫。但是不够坚定谋杀教授的爱？凶手狡猾不已，深藏不露，危机四伏．．．(XJJ)
