The Great Witches Baking Show by Nancy Warren - GIVEAWAY!!!

4 Stars

ABOUT THE BOOK -

A baker with secrets
Witches in trouble
The cameras are rolling
Ready, set, die.

Poppy Wilkinson is thrilled to be chosen as a contestant on The Great British Baking Contest. As an American with English roots, winning the crown as Britain’s Best Baker would open doors she’s dreamed of. In more ways than one. Appearing on the reality show is her chance to get into Broomewode Hall and uncover the secrets of her past.

But strange things are happening on the show’s set: accusations of sabotage, a black cat that shadows Poppy, suspiciously unsociable residents at Broomewode Hall—and the judges can be real witches.

There are murmurs that Broomewode is an energy vortex. It certainly makes Poppy see and do things that aren’t exactly normal, and seems to draw interesting characters to the neighborhood.

When a fellow contestant dies in mysterious circumstances, Poppy has more to worry about than burned pies and cakes that won’t rise. There’s a murderer on the loose and it’s up to Poppy and her new friends to solve the crime before it becomes a real show-stopper.

MY THOUGHTS -

This was the true definition of cozy mystery. I could curl up on my couch, Kindle in hand and get cozy while read this.

I am not what you would call a hard-core mystery fan, so a book like this is perfect for someone like me. I like my mysteries more on the fun side. And this was a fun one!  It started out more baking show, fun, quirky. Then became a little more suspenseful. Then... yes! Someone dies - murder mystery. I liked seeing it go through these phases slowly.

Great character development. There were a lot of characters (and one cat!) and the author did a great job of introducing them and allowing us to get to know them.

The only thing for me is that I wish it had more "witchy" stuff going on.

I like this author! I have read a few other books by her and have not been disappointed yet.

This is the first in a new series so be sure to grab this one and read it first!
