This book is for my favorite composer, Billy Barnes, my favorite musician, Bob Menadier, and my favorite jazz singer, Laurie Gral.
Acknowledgments
Big hugs for Ruel, my in-house story editor and chief
taste tester.
And hugs for the kids who don’t seem to mind helping
with the taste testing.
Hugs and kisses for the grandkids who don’t suffer
from butter, sugar, or chocolate deprivation thanks to
Hannah Swensen’s recipes.

Peter, Robin, Karen, Vida, Lesleigh, Adeola, Darla,
Rosanna, Mickie, Alex, and all the other folks at
Kensington Publishing who keep Hannah sleuthing
and baking up a storm.
Thanks to Hiro Kimura, my superb cover artist,
who’s drawn scrumptious desserts for the covers of
every Hannah Swensen mystery. This one is the best
ever! I just hope no one eats the cover before they
read the book!
Thank you to Lou Malcangi at Kensington for
designing all of Hannah’s incredibly gorgeous dust jackets
and paperback covers.
Thanks to John at Placed4Success.com for
Hannah’s movie and TV spots, and for handling
my social media.
Thanks to Kathy Allen for the final testing of
Hannah’s recipes.
Thank you to Sally Hayes (and Gary, too) for
sharing wonderful recipes.
And a big hug to my friend Trudi Nash for
helping me on book tours.
Thanks also to all the wonderful media guides in
the cities I’ve visited. Without all of you I’d be totally
lost, both figuratively and literally.
Hugs to superb food stylist Lois Brown, for making
my recipes look scrumptious in Phoenix. And thanks to
my Chicago food stylist, Judy Krug, for keeping that
frozen yogurt frozen.
Thank you to Dr. Rahhal, Dr. and Kathy Line,
and Dr. Wallen.
Thanks to Jamie Wallace for keeping my Web site,
MurderSheBaked.com
up to date and looking great.
And many thanks to all the readers who love Hannah almost as much as I do. I just wish that I had the time to test every single one of the great family recipes you send.
