Readers keep coming back for another helping of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Joanne Fluke’s cozy mysteries, featuring Minnesota bake shop owner Hannah Swensen and her delicious original recipes. In March 2014, Fluke and Hannah return with Blackberry Pie Murder, a hardcover caper with over 22 recipes interspersed throughout, including Tio Tito’s Sublime Lime Bars, Treasure Chest Cookies, Elsa’s Buttermilk Pie, Caramallow Bar Cookies and, of course, Fresh Blackberry Pie. Joanne Fluke never fails to cook up culinary mysteries that are just as famous for their scrumptious excess of calories as for their eccentric characters and unexpected endings. In Blackberry Pie Murder, the series’ sleuth suddenly finds herself going from baking cookie bars to behind prison bars after she accidentally hits a man with her cookie truck while driving down a winding country road. Hannah is wracked with guilt, until Doc Knight’s autopsy reveals the victim -more- was dead before Hannah even hit him, his shirt covered in stains that could come from one thing: Blackberry Pie. Now Hannah’s on the trail of a pie baker with a penchant for murder. And it’s going to take more than sugar and spice to catch this killer… Fluke’s Cherry Cheesecake Murder marked her debut onto The New York Times bestseller list in March 2006, and she followed up that success again a year later in March 2007 with the New York Times bestseller, Key Lime Pie Murder. Most recently, her 2013 hardcover, Red Velvet Cupcake Murder hit the list at #6.

Joanne Fluke will sign and discuss her new book, Blackberry Pie Murder (Kensington; $25).

Like Hannah Swensen, Joanne Fluke grew up in a small town in rural Minnesota where her neighbors were friendly, the winters were fierce, and the biggest scandal was the spotting of unidentified male undergarments on a young widow's clothesline. She insists that there really are 10,000 lakes and the mosquito is NOT the state bird.

While pursuing her writing career, Joanne has worked as: a public school teacher, a psychologist, a musician, a private detective's assistant, a corporate, legal, and pharmaceutical secretary, a short order cook, a florist's assistant, a caterer and party planner, a computer consultant on a now-defunct operating system, a production assistant on a TV quiz show, half of a screenwriting team with her husband, and a mother, wife, and homemaker.

She now lives in Southern California with her husband, her kids, his kids, their three dogs, one elderly tabby, and several noisy rats in the attic.
