Christmas Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke
3.0
Flashback book to right after Hannah's father dies.
This was actually a fun read. Essie, the owner of the hotel is placed in rehab/hospice ... finding she's been living in squalor ... drags Deloris out of mourning her husband, and is put in charge of recreating the Christmas Ball w/ Christmas Cake parade Essie had at the height of the hotel. When getting items Essie might want in rehab, they stumble on notebooks with a story. After asking permission from Essie ... Hannah has a read-out-loud with Deloris, Michelle & Lisa (who are still in high school). They realize the book isn't finished, and Essie assures them it's fiction ...
It was a great trip into the past to see how Andrea ended up selling houses. How Hannah got the Cookie Jar, and other facts about Lake Eden.
