For six amateur bakers, competing in Bake Week is a dream come true.
But for the show´s famous host, Betsy Martin, it´s more than a competition. It´s her legacy.
As she welcomes contestants to her ancestral home, Grafton Manor, she´s excited to discover who will have what it takes win the ultimate prize: The Golden Spoon.
Quickly, though, things start to go wrong...
The contestants are jittery - they´ve heard strange noises in the manor at night.
Betsy is irate - a new co-host has arrived, and he´s out for her spotlight.
Then, the sabotage begins. At first, it´s small. Sugar switched for salt. A hob turned too high.
But when a body is discovered, everyone becomes a suspect.
Because for someone at Bake Week it´s time to settle old scores . . .
