Triple Chocolate Cheesecake Murder ( Hannah Swensen #27) by Joanne Fluke
First ...Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for allowing me to read this book.
As a long time fan of Hannah's, I have read all 27 books and as a fan of this series, I’m always anxious to read the next one. That being said the series went off course about the time Ross showed up and seems to be floundering. I will keep reading them, hoping they will get back on course and will be very sad when they end yet I'm disappointed that they never seem to go any where. Hannah should have married Norman somewhere around book 7 when they designed a house together, instead after 27 books, he's being written like her gay best friend. Mike, who I have always found obnoxious has now turned into a slacker, who is also a pig. In the last 2 books he's done no police work, he eats 5 times as much as everyone else and it's always someone else feeding him, he never picks up the bill.
I found Hannah's good self, bad self conversations plain stupid, it reads like a mental disorder and seemed to be written to take up space. Also, since when do people call each other by name in every sentence?
These books are so far from where they started that there is no way they are being written by the same person. I understand once you are established you can hire ghost writers but at least hire good ones that have read the first books and will be true to the characters. And don't even get me started on 50% of these books are now recipes.
I could keep going but I think you get my drift by now, all that being said I will keep reading the books, hoping Hannah's like turns into the fairy tale I've been looking for since book one!
