Thank you for Netgalley, the publisher, and Joanne Fluke for providing me with an advanced copy of this book. I am a huge fan of this series. I have read all of the books. I especially enjoyed reading this book as it was a break from the usual.
This book describes the backstory of how Hannah came to be the owner of the Cookie Jar after the passing of her father. Hannah has recently dropped out of college and returned to her hometown in order to support her mother through her time of grief. A local "hero" in town has fallen on some hard times and has been recently hospitalized. Her one request is for a recreation of the "Christmas Ball" to relive her childhood. To help distract Hannah's mom, Delores, her friends decide to get Delores and Hannah on board to help recreate the "hero's" wish.
This was definitely a fun and easy read that Joanne Fluke's fans will enjoy.

Pros:
It was so refreshing to have a book without the love triangle involved. I love the more simplistic and less murdery plot and how it really worked on highlighting how well the characters work together to accomplish amazing things.
Cons:
Seeing the start of The Cookie Jar was amazing but also has me confused. I felt like Delores and Hannah didn’t get along very well in the first books but seeing the help Delores gave getting Hannah onto her path the distance doesn’t make as much sense to me now.
