Murder, She Baked: A Peach Cobbler Mystery

I have liked the first two episodes of Murder, She Baked. But this is the first episode that I genuinely enjoyed all the way through.

Hannah is understandably distraught when she comes upon another recently murdered body, especially when Hannah is being suspected of committing the murder.

While no one truly believes that Hannah is the murderer, it nonetheless lends an emotional undercurrent to the episode that is well played by everyone. Part of the interest of this episode is watching how different characters react.

Those looking for a solid, well plotted murder mystery should probably pass on all the episodes of Murder, She Baked. This show is a pleasing hodge podge of characters and emotions wrapped up in a murder mystery.

One of my favorite scenes was small town baker Hannah going to the big city of Minneapolis. Hannah is there to dig up dirt, to solve the murder. But Hannah becomes frazzled as everyone she questions is either oblivious to her charm or even worse, averse to her baked goods!

The seeming romantic triangle doesn't really work for me, but I did enjoy the emotional support that Hannah had from her sister and mother, in this episode. Barbara Niven as Hannah's mother was especially effective, I thought, playing a range of emotions from worried, to annoyed, to furious.
