Vera Bolt, Queen of Bakes, dies unexpectedly aged 66
In a shocking announcement this afternoon, Vera Bolt's agent confirmed that the Bake Off Wars judge and national treasure died yesterday. Ms Bolt was in the process of filming the next series of the hugely popular television show at Francis Court, the home of the King's sister and her family. It's believed that the renowned pastry chef was stabbed in the heart, and the main suspect is rumoured new royal girlfriend, Summer York. What am I supposed to do? Lady Beatrice has promised DCI Richard Fitzwilliam that she won't get involved in the investigation into Vera Bolt's death. But when her brother's new love interest, Summer York, becomes the top suspect in Vera's murder, Fred begs Bea to find out who the real killer is. In a race against time, can Bea navigate a labyrinth of secrets and lies, evade danger, and safeguard her friendship with Fitzwilliam? The answer may determine not only Summer's innocence but also the fate of Bea's and Fitzwilliam's burgeoning feelings for each other.
Hello. I'm Helen Golden. I write British contemporary cozy whodunnits with a hint of humour. I live in a small village in Lincolnshire in the UK with my husband, my stepdaughter, her two cats, our two dogs, sometimes my stepson, and our tortoise. I used to work in senior management, but after my recent job came to a natural end I had the opportunity to follow my dreams and start writing. It's very early in my life as an author, but so far I'm loving it. It's crazy busy at our house, so when I'm writing I retreat to our caravan (an impulsive lockdown purchase) which is mostly parked on our drive. When I really need total peace and quiet, I take it to a lovely site about 15 minutes away and hide there until my family runs out of food or clean clothes.
It seems those Bake Off shows just can't catch a break. The latest series of Bake Off Wars is being filmed at Francis Court estate, a compound that is home to Her Royal Highness Princess Helen and her husband, their son Fred, and their daughter Beatrice, widowed Countess of Rossex. The filming has only made it through one episode before one of the judges is murdered. Oops! The victim, sixty-six-year-old Vera Bolt, is not well-loved on the set, so there is a plethora of suspects.
With Richard Fitzwilliam still recuperating from the gunshot wound he received in an earlier case, a new detective is assigned from the special force that is responsible for protecting the royals. DCI Hayden Saunders is a man with a chip on his shoulder and he doesn't appreciate help or input from anyone – even a royal. Oops!
Bea and her best friend and business partner, Perry Juke, swear to stay out of the investigation – and they keep to that vow until it becomes personal. The disagreeable DCI Saunders almost immediately zeroes in on Summer York who is a presenter on the show – and Bea's brother's girlfriend. When Fred asks for help – how can they say no?
This is another excellent addition to this author's A Right Royal Cozy Investigation series. The characters are warm and inviting and feel more and more like family with each new book – especially with the lovable West Highland Terrier, Daisy. I was so excited to see the relationship between Fitzwilliam and Bea take a significant step forward and I will be looking forward to the next book to see the progress there. The mystery was excellently plotted and there were plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing until the end. While this can be read as a standalone book, I highly recommend reading the series in order from the beginning to get the full feel for the characters and their relationships.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
