Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Six contestants. The nation's favourite baking show. And a prize worth killing for...

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. Someone switching sugar for salt. A hob turned far too high.

But when a body is discovered, it's clear that for someone in the competition, The Golden Spoon is a prize worth killing for...

Critic reviews

I loved it. The Great British Bake Off meets And Then There Were None. As a story it has the perfect ingredients - secrets, ambitions, jealousies, redemptions - blended to perfection, with a murder so strong and compelling it was the cherry on the cake. Like any good recipe each character was sharp and distinctive, bringing a flavour all of their own (J.M. Hall)
Two things I love are great food and a great mystery - and The Golden Spoon has both. This delicious combination of Clue and The Great British Bakeoff kept me turning the pages all night! (Janet Evanovich)
Clever, atmospheric and creepy, with a spooky mansion, the kind of quirky, reality-TV-ready ensemble you can't help but adore, and storylines as expertly interwoven as a blue-ribbon challah. I can't wait for whatever Maxwell bakes up next (Andrea Bartz)
