Baker's Coven is a standalone cozy mystery. This is a modern day, fun read. Poppy, so named because she was found in front of a bakery, wrapped in a knitted baby blanket and put in an apple crate on the day she was born. Even though she has had a very good life she is curious about her biological mother. The only clue she has is the town where she was born and the distinct pattern in the baby blanket. The Great Baking show is being filmed on the grounds of a manor house that holds clues to her mother's name. She has managed to be a contestant and she is determined to get in the house. During one of the previous seasons they did a tour in the house and a portrait in the dining room has the painting of a woman wearing a shawl with the exact pattern as her baby blanket.
Only thing, the current Earl and his wife do not allow anyone but the servants in the house. She is having a very difficult time getting in to question the long time staff. There is one other problem, there has been a murder on the grounds so everyone is super secretive. Poppy has had a near miss herself. She was almost crushed when a piece of an old silo almost hit her as she was picking berries. Her new friend, the landowner's dog, herds her to safety. It won't be the last time the dog has come to her rescue.
This story is fun, mysterious, and entertaining as Poppy goes about another adventure solving a murder that involves bees. There is a bit of minor flirting with one of the police officers. This book is written so that any age can read and enjoy. It teaches a few lessons as well as being entertaining. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The series is about a young woman desperate to find her biological mother. It is set on the TV set of the Baking Show. There are a lot of colorful characters that add to the area and the show. It is a fun read. I almost forgot, there is a fun, flirty, ghost that only Poppy can see as you see Poppy is a witch but her special gift is that she can see dead people. She has been able to do that all her life but she has never discussed it with anyone. She has just discovered she is a witch and she has a lot of sisters locally. They are a family and Poppy is learning to be one of her new family.
I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 3/18/2020
