According to a synopsis from Hallmark, in Carrot Cake: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, a body is discovered in the rubble of a building undergoing renovation.
“Much to the dismay of her fiancé, Detective Mike Kingston (Mathison), Hannah begins to investigate the case on her own. As she tries to piece together the events that led to the murder and tries to learn the victim’s true identity, Hannah even calls on her mother Delores (Niven) as she works to bring the killer to justice and uncover the truth.”
The Hannah Swensen movies are based on a series of cozy mysteries by author Joanne Fluke.
