The Crime Brûlée Bake Off

A Claire Walker Mystery, Book 1

De: Rebecca Connolly

Narrado por: Sophie Roberts

An unexpected romance. A haunting mystery. Pastries to die for.

Amateur baker Claire Walker is thrilled to be a contestant on Britain’s Battle of the Bakers. She can almost smell the fresh pastries wafting through the air. If she can win the grand prize, she can ditch her teaching job and launch her baking career.

The Viscount of Colburn, Jonathan Ainsley, is the custodian of Blackfirth Park and an eligible bachelor. He reluctantly agrees to allow the cooking competition show to film on his estate, but when a contestant is found dead soon after filming begins, Jonathan is forced to get involved. To make matters worse, the baker’s death stirs up rumors of the legendary death of the tenth Viscountess of Colburn two hundred and fifty years earlier.

Even as suspicion falls on some of the bakers, a decidedly different kind of heat begins to simmer between Claire and Jonathan. If they are to have any hope of a future romance, they must first solve the mystery before the show gets canceled or someone else falls prey to what some believe is the Blackfirth Park ghost.

Fun and entertaining!

Rebecca Connolly is my favorite author! Love her clean, fun, just-saucy-enough novels! This was a murder mystery/romance and it didn’t disappoint. The title alone was genius, but the story was fun and entertaining. Recommend!

Superb

What a superb story! I loved how the plot progressed and how the romance fit into the storyline! The baking “swearing” was so cute and creative, and wasn’t in the least offensive. I plan on listening to this again!

Baked to perfection!

One part romance, Two parts murder mystery, Add in a delightful portion of British baking adventure, Served warm with a perfect amount of spicy banter and finished with delectable kisses. This book has it all! Deliciously different. Highly recommend!

I loved it!!

I loved the story and the narrator, and it combined two of my favorite topics: baking and murder! 🍮🧣🌊 ☸️ 🌾

Just okay

This book started out strong and I had high hopes. The narration was good and the premise was good. What disappointed me was that the main characters did a lot of talking about how they were helping solve a mystery, but there was very little action or legwork when it came to solving the mystery. Too much talk, not enough action.
