In the idyllic setting of Audley Castle, murder and mystery always seem to be around the corner…
I’m so excited! A team of restorers is working in the (allegedly) haunted turret of Audley Castle, restoring a beautiful ceiling painting. Unable to resist taking a look, I quickly make friends with the restorers over our shared love of history. Well, most of them.
Bluebell Brewster is whip-smart, sharp-tongued, and takes no prisoners. And she wants nothing to do with me or my delicious food. Then she’s found dead, and the evidence reveals this was no accident.
I’m on the case, alongside the head of castle security, Campbell. All evidence points to the mild-mannered project supervisor, Herbert, but although I can't put my flour-covered finger on it, there’s something wrong with this picture. Murder is always messy, and Herbert doesn’t fit the mold of a ruthless killer. He's more a soft, wobbly, lemon jelly type of guy.
As I hunt for clues and quiz suspects, I have to deal with a painful ankle injury. And why is Princess Alice snubbing me? How will I solve this crime without my trusty ally by my side?

Expect surprises, twists and turns, delicious cake, and a killer who gets their just desserts. Plus, there’s a big surprise for Holly. Her life is about to change forever.
