A cosy murder mystery that brings Great British Bake-off to Agatha Christie!

For six amateur bakers, competing in Bake Week is a dream come true.
When they arrive at Grafton Manor to compete, they're ready to do whatever it takes to win the ultimate prize: The Golden Spoon.
But for the show's famous host, Betsy Martin, Bake Week is more than just a competition.
Grafton Manor is her family's home and legacy - and Bake Week is her life's work. It's imperative that both continue to succeed.
But as the competition commences, things begin to go awry. At first, it's small acts of sabotage.
But when a body is discovered, it's clear that for someone in the competition, The Golden Spoon is a prize worth killing for...

Knives Out meets The Great British Bake Off. Jessa Maxwell has whisked up a perfectly layered mystery, easily deserving of a hearty Hollywood Handshake
