âThis delicious combination of Clue and The Great British Bake Off kept me turning the pages all night!â âJanet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Only Murders in the Building meets The Maid in this âdeliciously entertaining whodunitâ (Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author) where someone turns up dead on the set of TVâs hottest baking competitionâperfect for fans of Nita Prose, Richard Osman, and Anthony Horowitz.
Every summer for the past ten years, six awe-struck bakers have descended on the grounds of Grafton, the leafy and imposing Vermont estate that is not only the filming site for âBake Weekâ but also the childhood home of the showâs famous host, celebrated baker Betsy Martin.
The author of numerous bestselling cookbooks and hailed as âAmericaâs Grandmother,â Betsy Martin isnât as warm off-screen as on, though no one needs to know that but her. She has always demanded perfection, and gotten it with a smile, but this year something is off. As the baking competition commences, things begin to go awry. At first, itâs merely sabotageâsugar replaced with salt, a burner turned to highâbut when a body is discovered, everyone is a suspect.
A sharp and suspenseful thriller for mystery buffs and avid bakers alike, The Golden Spoon is âas addictive as bingeing your favorite culinary competition and as satisfying as a piece of your favorite cakeâ (Kellye Garrett, author of Like a Sister).
