Francesca Eve, chef, caterer, and baker extraordinaire, has never desired the limelight. But when she's accepted onto the country's favourite cooking competition, she can't help but wonder - what would it be like to win? The one thing she'd never imagined, though, was sharing the kitchen with a killer... When Francesca Eve arrives for the Christmas special of the country's most popular baking competition, she knows she's out of her depth. For not only is she there undercover, reluctantly investigating strange threats to Miranda Appleby, the famous presenter-come-chef, but she swiftly gets roped into competing herself when another contestant can't cut the mustard and quits. Cooking may be bread and butter to Fran, but under the bright lights her cranberry sauce won't set and her mince pies burn. When the real reason she's there ends in total failure and Miranda is found with a cake slice through the heart - 'lights, camera, cook' becomes 'lights, camera, murder...' Miranda may have looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, but looks can be deceiving... From her harassed PA to the rakish producer and even the disappointed contestants, everyone on set seemingly had reason enough to want to bump her off. But who would be nuts enough to cook Miranda's goose in such an obvious way? As the police arrive to take over the investigation, Fran can't help but continue her own lines of enquiry. She's come to know the crew and contestants and can't believe that any one of them would be guilty. But Fran must harden her heart to her new friends and focus her mind. Someone may have thought Miranda was justifiably given her just desserts, but what Fran uncovers takes things to a whole new tier. Can Fran uncover the truth before another death occurs, and before the spirit of Christmas (cake) is ruined forever? An utterly gripping cozy crime mystery set at a Christmas cooking competition. This is perfect for fans of Faith Martin, M.C. Beaton and The Thursday Murder Club. Readers love Emma Davies: 'Oh my giddy aunt... I was addicted to reading this book...

’Tis the season for celebrating when Gia Morelli’s holidays include both a wedding and yuletide festivities. Until someone naughty delivers a most unwanted Christmas gift—murder. . . For a native New Yorker, palm trees and warm temperatures don’t equal winter, much less Christmastime. Nevertheless, Gia Morelli’s friends have decked the halls and trimmed the trees to truly welcome her into their “family” with an old-fashioned Boggy Creek, Florida holiday season. Even more joyous, Savannah Mills is getting married on Christmas Eve—the greatest gift Gia could ever wish for her best friend. But when Gia and Savannah stop by the caterer for a final tasting a week before the wedding, they overhear another bride arguing with her son about her husband-to-be. Moments later, the woman is sampling a piece of wedding cake—gorgeously decorated with mistletoe frosting—then suddenly dies. Now Gia’s caterer friends are the prime suspects in what appears to be murder by poisoning. To clear their names and ensure Savannah has a merry matrimony will require Gia to conjure up a Christmas miracle . . . Includes recipes from the All-Day Breakfast Café!
