Game of Scones

Beaufort Scales, Book 4

By: Kim M. Watt

Narrated by: Patricia Gallimore

Suspicious deaths on the Skipton city council don't sound as though they should have anything at all to do with the Toot Hansell Women's Institute, and DI Adams would rather like to keep it that way. But when the councillor for Toot Hansell becomes the latest victim, Alice Martin, chair of the W.I. and RAF Wing Commander (ret.), steps straight in to take his place.

Before DI Adams can so much as say lemon drizzle cake the ladies of the Women's Institute are lurking around farmyards in the company of dragons, farmers are vanishing, the invisible dog's developed a caffeine dependence, and Alice is already in as deep as she can get. In deep, and facing a killer that seems to know far too much about her. Enough, perhaps, to turn the tables....

I love love love this world

The characters , creatures and world building is just perfection in this series. Narration is the cherry on top!

Oasis

This series is such a lovely oasis of good writing, wonderful characters, humor, and understanding of just what makes people human, in a world where so much contemporary writing is derivative and completely lacking in these qualities. Plus there are mystery-solving dragons! I feel overwhelmed by good fortune to have discovered these stories.

Nice addition

Great addition to the series. Miriam and Mortimer seemed less whiny during this outing which was quite the relief. I wanted to shoot the narrator in the last book. She did a better job of conveying their concerns without sounding like a toddler
