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. But for the show's famous host, Betsy Martin, it's more than a competition. It's her legacy. As she welcomes contestants to her ancestral home, Grafton Manor, she's excited to discover who will have what it takes win the ultimate prize: The Golden Spoon. Quickly, though, things start to go wrong...
The contestants are jittery - they've heard strange noises in the manor at night. Betsy is irate - a new co-host has arrived, and he's out for her spotlight. Then, the sabotage begins. At first, it's small. Sugar switched for salt. A hob turned too high. But when a body is discovered, everyone becomes a suspect. Because for someone at Bake Week it's time to settle old scores...

MEDIA REVIEWS
'Knives Out meets The Great British Bake Off. Jessa Maxwell has whisked up a perfectly layered mystery, easily deserving of a hearty Hollywood Handshake' - Tom Hindle
'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
'Any successful attempt at baking needs the right ingredients, precise timing and talent. The Golden Spoon has all that in ladles full. Great characters, a great plot, and like a spoon above a dessert, very difficult to put down' - Ian Moore
'A delectably fun mystery' - The Washington Post
'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 Bake Off kept me turning the pages all night!' - Janet Evanovich
