A Bundt Instrument

A Paranormal Culinary Cozy Mystery (The Great Witches Baking Show, Book 4)

By: Nancy Warren

Narrated by: Hollis McCarthy

A cozy English village, a baking contest...and murder!

I can remember a time when I baked for fun. I loved dreaming up new recipes, trying different combinations of flavors. Sharing my creations with friends and family.

Now? I have nightmares where the TV cameras are on me and I’m baking naked. Or I open my oven and my cake pans are empty. You don’t need to be Freud to figure out I’m freaking out. This week on The Great British Baking Contest could be my last. I am one bad bake away from being waved good-bye.

Sure, I’d get my weekends back, but I’d lose the excitement of being part of a popular reality show, of spending time with the other bakers who’ve become my friends, and, most important, of having time to snoop around Broomewode Hall for secrets about my origins.

When a heated argument breaks out in Broomewode village pub, I put it down to nerves. Until someone winds up dead.

How am I supposed to concentrate on European Bakes when I’m in the middle of a murder investigation?

With witches, ghosts, an energy vortex, a black cat and an ancient manor house that holds its secrets tight, this isn't your typical English village.

Taste this culinary cozy mystery series from USA Today best-selling author Nancy Warren. Each book is a stand-alone mystery, though the books are linked. They offer good, clean fun, and, naturally, recipes.

Very enjoyable and cozy

If you like mysteries but want a easy going cozy story, something to listen to while drinking hot chocolate or relaxing in bed.

ANOTHER WINNER!

NANCY WARREN JUST KEEPS ON HITTING THEM OUT OF THE PARK WITH HER WARM PARANORMAL COZY MYSTERIES. THIS 4TH OUTING IN THE GREAT WITCHES BAKING SHOW IS NO EXCEPTION (AND POPPY MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO FINDING OUT ABOUT HER BIOLOGICAL PARENTS). IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THESE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU START, AND GO AHEAD AND READ HER VAMPIRE KNITTING CLUB AND VAMPIRE BOOK CLUB. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

super fub

l am loving this series. love poppy!! my kids enjoyed listening to this with me.

Bundt Cakes, Weddings and Murder!

This is another greatly entertaining book in the series. The main character, Poppy Wilkinson, is a contestant on The Great British Baking Show. In addition to her expertise as a baker, she is also a great amateur sleuth, which she discovered after finding a corpse during the first week of filming.

Now, she is afraid that she might be reaching the end of her time on the show after a disastrous week of baking, mostly due to finding yet another dead body. She is determined to stay on the show so that she can have more time to try to discover anything about her birth mother who seems to have connections to the venue of the show.

When Poppy is approached by a woman to bake a wedding cake for her best friend, Poppy knows that she needs to concentrate on the Show. However, she takes on the job, both to earn some extra money and gain more access to Broomwolde Hall and clues to her past.

Of course, our amateur detective becomes involved in yet another murder, but this time her fellow contestants pitch in to help solve the mystery. Add in the fact that Poppy has just discovered that she is a witch and she sees and talks to ghosts and you have the makings of a fun story.

If you enjoy watching baking shows, cozy mysteries involving likeable characters, a little magic and a few ghosts, you will enjoy this entertaining book. The narrator does a fantastic job and her pacing and character voices add a lot to an already great read. I was given the chance to listen to this audiobook by the author and chose to review it.

amazing
