"This delicious combination of Clue and The Great British Bakeoff kept me turning the pages all night." -Janet Evanovich
What a delightful, FUN, deliciously engaging read! Sabotage at the home of the annual "Bake Off" hosted, by premier baker extraordinaire, Betsy Martin. At the annual Summer event, 6 hand picked bakers descend on the grounds of Grafton, childhood home of Betsy Martin.
Betsy Martin has established herself in the 'baking world' as "America's Grandmother." Betsy sets the stage for high competition as she demands perfection and is looking for the grandest of grand. She is a tautly spun character with the seriousness of Martha Stewart and the grande verve of Julia Child.
The Author begins the story with a brief bio of all 6 bakers, and their particular area of expertise, as well as personality traits. Naturally, they are all characters in every sense of the word. I enjoyed the many twists and turns, with seemingly inncuous errors, salt replaced as sugar, a burner left on high heat, until a murder takes place.
This delicious mystery had me guessing throughout the book. I immensely enjoyed the characters as they were all pointing the fingers and back stabbing each other throughout the Novel. This is a debut Author. I look forward to her next read.
