Baking Bad
A tranquil village.
A poisoned cupcake.
A murdered vicar.
A simple case - or it should be. All clues point to the Toot Hansell Women’s Institute, but Detective Inspector Adams is about to discover there’s more to these ladies than bake sales and jam-making.
Alice Martin, retired RAF Wing Commander and W.I. chair, knows her group isn’t guilty. But she’s got a bigger problem: Toot Hansell’s dragon-sized secret must stay hidden — and she’d rather not be arrested for murder. Again.
Beaufort Scales, High Lord of the Cloverly dragons and survivor of the days of knights and dragon hunts, knows dragons only survive by staying out of sight. 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.

Cozy Pairings
Brown Sugar Cinnamon is a warm, bakery-inspired fragrance that wraps you in the comforting sweetness of brown sugar and melted butter, gently spiced with cinnamon. Rich and inviting, this scent evokes the feeling of something freshly baked lingering in the air, soft and golden with just a touch of indulgence. Smooth and well balanced, it brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to any space, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and comforting.
Why we chose this: In the Yorkshire Dales village of Toot Hansell, the Women's Institute bakes exceptional cakes, keeps exceptional secrets, and has an exceptional friendship with the local dragon population. Between poisoned cupcakes, stolen Christmas turkeys, dragons doing yoga, and a detective inspector who would very much like everyone to stop finding bodies, this series is warm and funny and completely irresistible. Brown Sugar Cinnamon is the candle for every book in this series, the scent of a village hall where the kettle is always on and something freshly baked is always waiting. Light this candle and let the golden sweetness of brown sugar and butter fill the room like a Yorkshire afternoon where the tea is strong, the cake is exceptional, and the dragons are doing their very best to stay hidden.
