The Golden Spoon was such an entertaining mystery. Based on the British Baking shows on television this is a baking show with a murder twist. While reading the book I could definitely hear the words of the announcers and hosts of the actual baking show in my head.
Though the contestants on this show were a variation on the theme, they were an entertaining group. The author did a good job of building the background on each character and presenting their connection to baking and their backstory connecting them to the manor house where the baking tent was located.
Not the most incredible prose but the intent was very apparent and the plot was fast moving. There was a bit of suspense, but I do not think the reader connects enough to any one character to be upset when you find out the murder and the murdered.
With thoughts of the British Baking Show dancing in your head and reading this book, you just want to go into the kitchen and bake!
