A knead-to-know whodunit with a dollop of drama...

Jessica Askew, a baking rebel with a recipe for uncovering the truth, has worked tirelessly with Hattie to bring Little Quillington a new Valentine's event. But as the press swarms the village, Jessica discovers they're not there for her baking. A long-buried Askew secret has been accidentally revealed, and now her family's casting her as the black sheep in their well-written saga.

The Valentine's event turns deadly when a reporter is found felled by one of Hattie's whimsical, love-themed decorations. With beloved Mrs Pankhurst blaming her for Hattie's troubles and a family in freefall, Jessica must get to the bottom of a mystery steeped in secrets and love potions.

Can she untangle the web of lies and love gone wrong, or will her quest for the truth leave her own happy ending in tatters?
