Mortelle Saint-Valentin

I have read all the books, just started th movie's. Hannah lived in a condo not a very house she could not afford. Hanna does not jog. The co worker at the cookie shop is to old for the part.If you wanted to use the book for the plot then you should have followed the book otherwise just write the movie based on what you wanted to be on. Hannah does not drive a new mini van, Cookie shop is way to big an only has 2 workers, not a staff. Not much is based on the books.

Ignore the review before this one... that person was overly negative. There is so much bad stuff on TV and it is harmful to the heart and soul. This is a more wholesome program to watch that does not leave you feeling depleted like so much that is in TV programming. That's why I watch Hallmark to begin with. Television needs more Hallmark! What set is not fake...they are studio sets! This series is light and fun. I am from Minnesota so I had to look up where it was filmed and found out it was Canada and yet the cars in this series showed Minnesota license plates. They took care of the details! Anyway, yes, I would recommend watching it ...even my boyfriend got into watching it, although women are a primary audience. Heather

With The Cookie Jar, Hannah Swensen has a tasty monopoly on the bakery business of Lake Eden, Minnesota. But when a rival store opens, and one of the owners is found shot to death in the store, Hannah is determined to prove that she wasn't the only one who had an axe to grind with the Quinn sisters. Somebody wasn't fooled by the Georgia Peaches and their sweet-as-pie act--and now it's up to Hannah to track down whoever had the right ingredients to whip up a murder.

Peach cobblers, competition between two bakeries and murder - a predictable but fun mystery which is well-paced, has good characters as well as nice setting and a good build up to the murder.

The third entry in the Murder She Baked cozy mystery series on Hallmark, starring Alison Sweeney. In this episode a new bakery opens in the small town of Eden Lake which cuts in to Hannah's profits at The Cookie Jar. To make matters worse the new baker/owner is a college friend of detective Mike and his deceased wife!

Egged on by her family, Hannah orders one of the Magnolia bakery's famous peach cobblers, a supposed family recipe. Along with her family and the mayor, Hannah does a blind taste test in which Hannah's cobbler wins amongst all of the judges. At least two of the judges...including Hannah herself think the Magnolia's pie tastes familiar. That night Hannah figures out why and shares the reason with her sister, who in a fit of defending Hannah bursts out with the reason at the mayor's daughter's wedding rehearsal in front of most of the town. The baker of The Magnolia bakery leaves in tears with a proclamation that she will bring her cobblers to the wedding.

Day of the wedding Hannah does a good deed, someone ends up dead and for the first time Hannah is the prime suspect!!!!!

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and our dentist Norman seems to be winning major points supporting and helping Hannah. Mike, our handsome detective, is avoiding Hannah because she is the prime suspect in his case.

Meanwhile the real mystery is who will be Hannah's date for the big day?

Sweet, funny and a must watch in the Murder She Baked series.

6/10 - good mystery that makes for a great 2 hours
