    About this ebook

    A tranquil village.

    A poisoned cupcake.

    A murdered vicar.

     

    A simple case - or it should be. But all clues point to the Toot Hansell Women's Institute, and Detective Inspector Adams is about to discover there's much more to the W.I. than just bake sales and jam making.

     

    Alice Martin, RAF Wing Commander (Ret.), and current chair of the Women's Institute, knows the ladies of the W.I. are not guilty. But she has a bigger problem. Toot Hansell has a large and dragonish secret, and she needs to keep the police well away from it. Plus she'd really rather not be arrested for murder. Again.

     

    Meanwhile, Beaufort Scales, High Lord of the Cloverly dragons and survivor of the days of knights and dragon hunts, knows even better than Alice that the modern dragon only survives as long as no one knows they exist. 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.

     

    Best put the kettle on…

     

     

    A funny cozy mystery (with dragons), for anyone that likes their mysteries British, gentle, and well-stocked with cake, tea, and friendship. And dragons, obviously.

     

    Baking Bad is the laughter-steeped first book in The Beaufort Scales series of cozy mysteries (with dragons). If you like casually profane heroines, whimsical shenanigans, and stories that give you wings, then you'll love Kim M. Watt's enchanting tale.

    • no graphic violence
    • no sex
    • no strong language; however it does contain some blasphemous language
    • but there are copious quantities of cake and tea. You may need supplies.

      This book is a perfectly enjoyable, lighthearted read. Mysteries aren’t usually my genre, but when I was looking for something light, this was recommended to me. The vivid descriptions of a bucolic village plus the silliness of the dragons give it a little bit different flavour, and I’m sure I’ll read the rest of the series when I need a mental palate cleanser from my usual sci-fi novels.
