Baking Bad: A Cozy Mystery (With Dragons)
Baking Bad: A Cozy Mystery (With Dragons) | Kim M Watt
3 posts | 3 read
A tranquil village. A poisoned cupcake. A murdered vicar. A simple case - or it should be. But all clues point to the Toot Hansell Women's Institute, and Detective Inspector Adams is about to discover there's much more to the W.I. than bake sales and jam making. Alice Martin, RAF Wing Commander (Ret.), and current chair of the W.I., knows the ladies of the Women's Institute are not guilty. But she has a bigger problem. Toot Hansell has a dragonish secret, and she needs to keep the police well away from it. And she'd really rather not be arrested for murder. Again. Meanwhile, Beaufort Scales, High Lord of the Cloverly dragons and survivor of the days of knights and dragon hunts, knows even better than Alice that the modern dragon only survives as long as no one knows they exist. 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. A funny cozy mystery (with dragons), for anyone that likes their mysteries gentle and well-stocked with cake, tea, and friendship. And dragons, obviously.

This was okay, and maybe in another mood I'd have loved it? But it felt a bit too deliberately quirky, and in the end I wasn't really feeling it, even before the murderer was both really obvious and really unconvincing.

This was my #DoubleSpin, woo.

I'm in a kind of weird spot with this book where part of me feels like I ought to love it because a friend got it for me and was so enthusiastic... And part of me is getting really contrary about it and doesn't want to even give it a proper chance. 😅

This is a well written cozy set in an English village with the addition of secret dragons. It was a good murder mystery, it was just too slow for me and I really had to force myself to come back to it

This was my September #bookspin
