What To Expect In A Zest For Death?

In the exclusive interview, Alison Sweeney shared some of what Sleuthers should expect in the next mystery. Firstly, we will see Delores’s reaction to Hannah’s broken engagement. Those fans who loved Barbara Niven in Carrot Cake Murder should expect quite a performance.

Next, there could be a complication with Norman. He is dating attorney Gabrielle Miller. Will their relationship be tested or even broken now that Hannah is single again?

Lastly, the Days star revealed that the story will feature Mike and Hannah finding their happily ever after.

But we ended Carrot Cake with the clear message that Mike is not giving up on Hannah, and of course Hannah still loves Mike. So…this is just another challenge for them to overcome.

Most of all, Alison Sweeney wants fans to enjoy the reunion. “Hopefully, the fans will enjoy the process of seeing them work their way back to each other.”
