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...

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.
