It’s the release day of The Channel Islands Bake-Off Murder, previously self-published as Beating The Competition. In this book, the second of the eight books based in Gull Bay, April is thrilled when she’s invited to judge a high-profile TV bake-off over the May Day holiday weekend. It’s the perfect chance to put the Sea Breeze Café on the map.
Seven amateur chefs. Three rounds. One killer.
The contestants are anything but ordinary. Librarian Sophie claims she’s psychic. Wealthy Hilary has devoted herself to charity since her husband’s untimely death. Popular food blogger Isa is charming, handsome — and not to be trusted.
And then there’s notorious food critic Maurice Devine. April absolutely doesn’t hold a grudge over his savage review of her pineapple upside-down cake. Of course she doesn’t.
As the cameras start to roll, Gull Bay buzzes with excitement. But behind the bunting and buttercream, rivalries flare, sabotage follows, and whispers of corruption circulate. Then a body is discovered.
April must uncover the truth — and fast. Because the police are on the hunt for the bake-off killer, and all roads seem to lead straight to her.
