Cobblered to Death

If you love the Great British Bake Off or the American Baking Show, Cobblered to Death is the book for you. Cooking show host Courtney Archer is selected to participate in the filming of the reality baking show in the Poconos. In Cobblered to Death by Rosemary Ross, the reader gets a first hand view of how a reality TV show is filmed. (Cobblered to Death will be released by Kensington Publishing on November 26.)

Courtney is excited to be selected for the show and she believes it will boost the audience for her own show, Cooking With the Farmer's Daughter. But Courtney has a secret. Her persona of being a farmer's daughter is fake. She was born and raised in the big city and someone knows that secret. 

While she and her producer Eric are discussing her secret, she notices someone in the cafe near them pretending to be reading a newspaper. Mick Henderson is one of the contestants and when he leaves, he slyly says her secret is safe with him.  

The net morning when Courtney tries to retrieve her cobbler, she stumbles across a body. It's Mick and he has been bashed over the head with a cast iron skillet containing Courtney's cherry cobbler. She knows she didn't kill him, but there is some much tension with the other cast members, she finds it hard to discover who the killer is. Unfortunately after a late night of baking on her own, Courtney is immediately a suspect. 

As she probes and uncovers connections to the contestants, she comes closer to the killer, putting herself in jeopardy. 

A terrific start to a new series.
