Fiction and Recipes

So I love to read, and not just cookbooks and recipes on the net!  I tend to find books to read that combine things I love.  More often than not, these books have recipes in them.  At my local library I discovered author Joannne Fluke.  Her books have a central character that owns a little cookie bakery and also seems to keep solving murder mysteries!  The best part for me is that as Hannah makes different recipes in the story, the author includes the recipes in the books.  I just read the Apple Turnover Murder and can't wait to make several of the recipes.  I broke down and bought this one and read it in one day.  (which is why I almost never buy books..I am a very fast reader)
I just checked Joanne's webpage and she is compiling all of the recipes from the book into a cookbook...so I guess I will have to buy that for sure!
