The Golden Spoon

The story is told from the perspective of each of the contestants in a baking show, created very much in the image of the Great British Bake-Off, with a twist. However, the twist doesn't really come until about two thirds into the book. By which time, some of the contestants have left the show and the others have developed enough to make me like or dislike them quite a bit.

The murder part of the story ended up feeling like an after thought but the other mystery in the story was more interesting and carried a lot of the weight of moving the story along without just being a fictionalized version of Bake-Off.

Overall, it was okay. It had some interesting character development but the murder mystery was unsatisfying. And the conclusion felt a little forced. Meh.
