Candy Cane Murder

by Joanne Fluke, Laura Levine, & Leslie Meier

Three stories involving the Christmas season & candy canes: Candy Cane Murder, The Dangers of Candy Canes, and Candy Canes of Christmas Past.  The first one featured a lying baker, the second a lying freelance writer, and the third a lying mother of a two year old.  I cannot believe anyone loved these stories; they were insipid, silly, and dull.  I kept waiting for anything exciting to happen, but it was the typical "I'm too fat, yet I stuff my face", " I want a real job, and I have a stupid name (Jaine Austen!)", and " I'm a big city girl trapped in a tiny podunk town".  Give me a break!  Plus, each one of them solved their mysteries almost instantly at the end.  I can't believe I read all three.  Thank goodness for 2 good cookie recipes, or I would be really mad at myself right now!
