These quotes say it best: “This delicious combination of Clue and The Great British Bake Off kept me turning the pages all night!” —Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Only Murders in the Building meets The Maid in this darkly beguiling locked-room mystery where someone turns up dead on the set of TV’s hottest baking competition—perfect for fans of Nita Prose, Richard Osman, and Anthony Horowitz.

Six aspiring amateur bakers arrive to Grafton, a lovely Vermont estate run by Betsy Martin, nicknamed “America’s grandma”, for Bake Week. But things go off in the first episode. One contestant’s sugar is swapped for salt. The second episode has a contestant’s homemade orange essence ruined. Is it sabotage or accident? Nobody really knows.

Tensions run high between creator Betsy and the newly announced co-host Archie Morris. Perhaps Archie has his fingers in too many pies? The novel opens with full on suspense and each chapter and character takes us deeper into twists and turns that are tighter than a cinnamon roll.
