Baking Bad - a Cozy Mystery (with Dragons): Tea, cake, & a whodunnit in the Yorkshire Dales (A Beaufort Scales Mystery, Book 1)

A tranquil village.

A poisoned cupcake.

A murdered vicar.

A simple case – or it should be. All clues point to the Toot Hansell Women’s Institute, but Detective Inspector Adams is about to discover there’s more to these ladies than bake sales and jam-making.

Alice Martin, retired RAF Wing Commander and W.I. chair, knows her group isn’t guilty. But she’s got a bigger problem: Toot Hansell’s dragon-sized secret must stay hidden — and she’d rather not be arrested for murder. Again.

Beaufort Scales, High Lord of the Cloverly dragons and survivor of the days of knights and dragon hunts, knows dragons only survive by staying out of sight. But he also knows friends don’t let friends face murder inquiries alone. Beaufort fully intends to Get Involved.

This investigation is about to take on dragonish proportions.

Best put the kettle on…
