The Great Witches Baking Show - A Paranormal Mystery Review

THE GREAT WITCHES BAKING SHOW by Nancy Warren

The First Great Witches Baking Show Mystery Although thrilled to be a contestant on The Great British Baking Contest Poppy Wilkinson has more on her mind than meringue. Broomewode Hall holds a clue to Poppy's past and she's determined to learn more. Poppy will have to navigate not only the culinary challenges involved in the show, but more nefarious ones as well. For there are bad bakes and then there's sabotage. Could someone really be working against Poppy's fellow contestant and new friend? Poppy will be tested on more than her ability to recreate a challenging recipe as she encounters murder and magick in the Cotswolds. Who would have thought watching people bake could be so exciting? Anyone whose watched The Great British Bake-Off, known as The Great British Baking Show in the United States, that's who! It turns out that reading about people baking is just as compelling...especially when there's not only a mystery, but more magick than whipping up a perfect Genoise sponge! My love for the show led me to to hold high expectations for the first Great Witches Baking Show Mystery and Nancy Warren fulfilled them with aplomb. Poppy Wilkinson is a charming protagonist. She's smart and friendly with hidden depths...and a determination to discover the truth about her past. Poppy also has a unique ability, she's a medium, able to see and speak with the dead. She's also about to discover she's a witch! As with the television show, we're just starting to learn about the other contestants, but the camaraderie is already starting to build.  I'm fascinated by the paranormal aspect to the story as well. Elspeth and Jonathan are supportive judges, as well as wary witches. I can't wait to see the magic evolve as Poppy gets more in tune with her true self, and her powers. THE GREAT WITCHES BAKING SHOW has it all, interesting characters, delicious food, and a touch of magick all wrapped in a delectable mystery. I can't wait to witness the challenges to come in the next episode. Ready, Set, Read!
