\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**For six amateur bakers, competing in _Bake Week_ is a dream come true.**

But for the show's famous host, Betsy Martin, it's more than a competition. It's her legacy.  
As she welcomes contestants to her ancestral home, Grafton Manor, she's excited to  
discover who will have what it takes win the ultimate prize: The Golden Spoon.  
**Quickly, though, things start to go wrong.**  
The contestants are jittery - they've heard strange noises in the manor at night.  
Betsy is irate - a new co-host has arrived, and he's out for her spotlight.  
Then, the sabotage begins. At first, it's small. Sugar switched for salt. A hob turned too high.  
But when a body is discovered, everyone is a suspect.  
**Because someone at _Bake Week_ wants to settle old scores...**
