Claire is a schoolteacher and a contestant on the newest season of a famous British baking show. Jonathan is a viscount and the owner of the estate where the show is being filmed. He is very protective of the estate's image and history, but when events start happening that mirror a famous murder in his family's past, he and Claire must work together to stop a murderer before they strike again. There is a large cast of characters from which to choose a murderer, and thankfully the inciting incident happens fairly early on so it was easier to focus on guessing who the murderer was. (The flip side/downside to that is that character development wasn't extensive before jumping into the murder, so the characters didn't feel very complex and it was a little harder to invest in them.) Claire and Jonathan had instant attraction and bonded fast and early, which I found endearing but also a little anticlimactic in a romance. I enjoyed the context of the baking show and I loved the inclusion of recipes at the end. There was an abundance of likeable characters in this quick read, which seems like it's the start of a series. But both the murder plot and the romance were somewhat lacking in tension, and the motive and the resolution of the murder mystery seemed underdeveloped. I was interested enough to keep reading to the end, but ultimately I found the story to be fine but nothing extraordinary. Publishes February 4, 2025. Thank you to NetGalley and Shadow Mountain Publishing for providing an ARC of this book, this is my objective review.
