Dying to Bake

Bake Off Wars is back! Get your aprons on and let the sleuthing begin!

BREAKING NEWS Vera Bolt, Queen of Bakes, dies unexpectedly aged 66

In a shocking announcement this afternoon, Vera Bolt’s agent confirmed that the Bake Off Wars judge and national treasure died yesterday. Ms Bolt was in the process of filming the next series of the hugely popular television show at Francis Court, the home of the King’s sister and her family. It’s believed that the renowned pastry chef was stabbed in the heart, and the main suspect is rumoured new royal girlfriend, Summer York.

What am I supposed to do? Lady Beatrice has promised DCI Richard Fitzwilliam that she won’t get involved in the investigation into Vera Bolt’s death. But when her brother’s new love interest, Summer York, becomes the top suspect for Vera’s murder, Fred begs Bea to find out who the real killer is. In a race against time, can Bea navigate a labyrinth of secrets and lies, evade danger, and safeguard her friendship with Fitzwilliam?

The answer may determine not only Summer’s innocence but also the fate of Bea’s and Fitzwilliam’s burgeoning feelings for each other.

Another page-turning British cozy whodunnit with a hint of humour that you wouldn’t be able to put down from Helen Golden.

“Oh my goodness what a read!! This had me captivated from the very beginning and I so desperately want to read more. This is part of a series but worked brilliantly as a stand alone. I’ve not read the previous books but am definitely adding them to my wish list now. The characters are simply wonderful and so very real… The plot of the book is very good. Plenty of suspects to keep you guessing and plenty of action. A fantastic book that flowed easily as I read. Perfect if you are looking for a light hearted read to take away the stress of the day.” Book Blogger Review

Air Force Hero

There’s only been one woman for me, and she’s never truly been mine.

But I don’t have much time for anyone anyway, with my focus on my career.

I’m a military man through and through, from generation to generation.

This one girl, though.

She stole my heart when we were kids, but it’s taboo, forbidden.

She’s my best friend’s little sister, and he’d kill us both.

After my mom recently lost my dad, a quick trip home to help her brings me face to face with the past.

It was just one wild night years ago, but I can’t shake it. She left before the break of dawn, going back to the sea, and I took my place up in the air once again.

But she’s never left my mind.

Her soft curves and sweet heart haunted me.

And now that we’re back in the same small town for two weeks, I find out she’s in a bad relationship and hiding a secret from me.

A four-year-old little man with my smile and her eyes.

My dream was to stay in the Air Force until retirement, but that dream has changed.

So have I.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

The Bennett Case

Please note that this is a novella length story (around 25,000 words). The story is complete, no cliff hanger endings. Janet and Joan Markham are starting to feel settled in their new home. Now Joan is ready to start welcoming guests to their bed and breakfast, but Janet isn’t so sure. When an unexpected visitor turns up, the sisters can’t agree on what exactly they should do with the man, who is just a little too charming for Janet’s liking. When the sisters learn that an escaped criminal might be hiding in their small Derbyshire village, they can’t help but wonder if their guest is the man in question. A sudden rush of new arrivals to the area, all men around the same age as the escaped convict, has the sisters viewing everyone with suspicion. Was their first paying guest romantically involved with the previous owner? Why is he working so hard to charm Janet? With so many strangers around, all seemingly hiding something, can Janet resist doing a little bit of her own investigating?This new series of novella length stories will be quick reads with lighter story lines (and a lot fewer bodies) than the Isle of Man Cozy Mystery Series by the same author. This is the second novella in the series. They are best read in alphabetical order, like the Isle of Man Cozy Mystery books. You do not have to read that series to enjoy this one.
