About the Book
For six amateur bakers, competing in Bake Week is a dream come true.
When they arrive at Grafton Manor to compete, they're ready to do whatever it takes to win the ultimate The Golden Spoon.
But for the show's famous host, Betsy Martin, Bake Week is more than just a competition. Grafton Manor is her family's home and legacy - and Bake Week is her life's work. It's imperative that both continue to succeed.
But as the competition commences, things begin to go awry. At first, it's small acts of sabotage. Someone switching sugar for salt. A hob turned far too high.
But when a body is discovered, it's clear that for someone in the competition, The Golden Spoon is a prize worth killing for...
My Review
The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Like a delicious mixture of Chopped and an Agatha Christie novel, The Golden Spoon was a simply delectable read.
OK, I promise those are the last of my food puns. But seriously, this book has the appeal of a book about a cutthroat, yet in a way charming, food reality competition that takes place at the mysterious yet seemingly charming Betsy Martin's home, combines with the creepy atmosphere of a suspense novel that comes to fruition when things start to go wrong and culminates when a body is found and everyone realizes that there's a killer amongst them.
Honestly, this was one of those book I couldn't put down. It is told from the viewpoints of each of the contestants, which you have to get used to at first, but once you get to know the contestants, it's not a problem. Their voices are all unique and they all had really interesting stories, IMO.
The solution was pretty intense! I loved it and I thought it was pretty clever. Thought some things were not incredibly surprising I thought it was all done really well, including the final chapter, which I won't give away. I'll just say, read until the very end. Dun dun dun!!!
Anyway, make sure to pick this one up. It's a super sweet suspenseful ride (OK, so I lied )
