Mel and Angie have entered a pastry baking contest, hoping to beat their rival Olivia for the grand prize. The judges are mostly people Mel knew from culinary school, including her old mentor Vic Mazzotta. Vic can be a hard man to live, but Mel is still surprised when he is found dead inside an ice truck. Had he made a lethal enemy?

The book sets up the suspects and motives early on before Vic’s body is even found. I did feel the pacing sagged a bit in the middle, but for the most part, this was a great mystery with some good twists and a great climax. The characters are fun as always, too. It’s easy to see why the series is so popular.

I absolutely LOVE Bake Off! There are not enough words to describe how much I love watching it. I first saw Bake Off when I was heading home on a British Airways flight six years ago (yes, I remember), and have been hooked every since. I did prefer when it was aired on PBS, rather than Netflix here in the US.
I am super confused as to why the name of this show was changed to 'Baking Show'. I still call it Bake Off because it's the fricken name.
The challenges are fun, and the casts each year are super entertaining. While I did really like Mel and Sue as the presenters, I love Noel, and my brother and I constantly hunt for The Mighty Boosh references (Old Gregg reference are our fav). I think Matt Lucas was a good choice for this series, but I'm still lukewarm on him.

Have to admit I've always been a fan of Matt Lucas so I'm loving him on this. I've laughed so much at the current series!
