A dead man and fingers point in Jessica's way and she gets blamed. Oh boy, and what kind of a family does she have. The story quickly pulled me in. It's interesting and entertaining and then that end. I have to know what happens next. I wish it was already March 12 when book number two will be published.
I received an advance review copy and I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

Jessica is competing in a TV baking contest, when she finds one of her competitors murdered. Suspicion quickly falls on her - can she concentrate on baking alongside clearing her name?

The story felt very rushed to me and not very suspenseful. There were clearly threads started that will continue through more books - Jessica has issues with her family wanting to stop her future inheritance for example, but these felt like an aside at times. I liked Pippa, and loved Hattie, and I do want to know what happens with the family issue, but something just didn't work for me. It was a very quick read - it reads more like a short story than a full book, and is apparently the first of three books. I think if all are this length, I would suggest reworking them into one book.

This is the first book I've read by this author, and I was hoping I'd really like it, but it didn't spark any excitement.
The cover of the book and the description seemed like something I'd really like, but there were parts that dragged out and I found myself skimming through the pages.
