Game of Scones
Bribery. Corruption. Murder.
Who said local politics were boring?
Suspicious deaths on the Skipton city council don't sound as though they should have anything at all to do with the Toot Hansell Women's Institute, and DI Adams would rather like to keep it that way. But when the councillor for Toot Hansell becomes the latest victim, Alice Martin, chair of the W.I. and RAF Wing Commander (ret.), steps straight in to take his place.
Before DI Adams can so much as say lemon drizzle cake the ladies of the Women's Institute are lurking around farmyards in the company of dragons, farmers are vanishing, the invisible dog's developed a caffeine dependence, and Alice is already in as deep as she can get.
In deep, and facing a killer that seems to know far too much about her.
Enough, perhaps, to turn the tables...
Murder, mayhem, and old secrets come to light in the Yorkshire Dales - with dragons, of course.
Game of Scones is a feel-good read, perfect for cozy mystery fans who prefer their murders behind closed doors and their investigators British, cake-fuelled, and a little scaly...
Game of Scones is book 4 in the Beaufort Scales cozy mystery (with dragons) series - pick up Baking Bad to see where it all began!
