Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker is back!

When popular TV baking contest and national institution ‘The Best of British Baking Roadshow’ rolls into town and sets up camp in the grounds of Boskern House, a historic stately home near Penstowan, former police officer Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker finds herself competing to represent Cornwall in the grand final.

But with a fellow contestant who will stop at nothing to win and a drag queen host with secrets of their own, Jodie discovers that the roadshow doesn’t just have the ingredients for the perfect showstopper cake, but also for the perfect murder…

And when a body is found in the grounds of the house, Jodie is drawn into another high-stakes case along with local DCI Nathan Withers.

Can Jodie expose the culprit? Or will the murderer become the real showstopper?

I love that the storyline included the baking show! I could see the characters and setting.

Of course I love the characters, I am glad things ended up the way they did!

Wonderful series

Narration, characters, everything perfect for binging when you might be feeling low. I highly recommend it.

Love these books!

These stories always make me laugh. Fun mysteries, great characters, fantastic narration! Can’t wait for the next to come out!

Crime Solving Fun

Always a fun listen! I love the wit & humor, as well as how non-saccharine the characters & events are. Will definitely get the next one. ☺️

Plot

Being a Christian, I don’t like casual use of cursing and constant referrals to faith as ridiculous. I find Jodie less and less likable.

Nosy Parker in a bake off

Nosy Parker is a great blend between story and the narrator. Rarely is the murderer easy to spot and the narrator bring the characters to life. This installment of the series is no exception.

Jodi Parker is making a new life for herself and daughter with a new catering business which is growing slowly. This time she takes part in a baking show. Can Jodi compete against other bakers, figure out who murderer is and have a successful relation with Nate? Listen in to find out

Mystery, suspense, and culinary tips

Love this detective with skills of a chef whose catering business is the way she finds her creative talents have a broader reach than the kitchen. Jodie, “Nosy”, Parker is a charming character with a sense of humor and ability to use her curiosity to solve complex murder plots in the English countrysides.

Baking show double mystery!

Having watched a few baking show contests, this rang so true to life. Fun listen. I’m hooked. Makes my rides to dog events more pleasant!

I think I’ll stop the series here

I get enough GBBO cliches from the show itself. Wonderful series up to this point, but this installment had me rolling my eyes. Also very disappointed to learn Germaine, my favorite character thus far, is named after G Greer.
