General Description: Six bakers are chosen to compete in Bake Week, a competition that could change their life. However, when a murder occurs during the competition, the six bakers are now looked at suspects. Who was murdered? Who committed the crime? How can the inspectors put the pieces of the puzzle together?
The good:
- I feel like the multiple perspectives were very defined and easier to follow.
- I love a cozy baking mystery.
- Each character is very unique and makes the reading experience more exciting. I love the full cast in the audiobook!
The loss of 1.5 stars:
- Time is not as defined in this book as some others, which I personally don't like as i like the structure of time.
- There is a large gap between what you get in the prologue and actually getting to it in the book, which is not my favorite set up for a book.
Overall, If you appreciate a low stakes mystery, which would be a good book to pick up and give a try!
