The Great Witches Baking Show

A Culinary Cozy Mystery

By: Nancy Warren

Narrated by: Hollis McCarthy

A baker with secrets.

Witches in trouble.

The cameras are rolling.

On your marks, get set, die.

Poppy Wilkinson is thrilled to be chosen as a contestant on The Great British Baking Contest. As an American with English roots, winning the crown as Britain’s Best Baker would open doors she’s dreamed of. In more ways than one. Appearing on the reality show is her chance to get into Broomewode Hall and uncover the secrets of her past.

But strange things are happening on the show’s set: Accusations of sabotage, a black cat that shadows Poppy, suspiciously unsociable residents at Broomewode Hall - and the judges can be real witches.

There are murmurs that Broomewode is an energy vortex. It certainly makes Poppy see and do things that aren’t exactly normal, and seems to draw interesting characters to the neighborhood.

When a fellow contestant dies in mysterious circumstances, Poppy has more to worry about than burned pies and cakes that won’t rise. There’s a murderer on the loose and it’s up to Poppy and her new friends to solve the crime before it becomes a real show-stopper.

From USA Today best-selling author Nancy Warren, this delicious series of cozy paranormal mysteries will have you guessing until the end. Includes recipes.

GREAT NEW SERIES

I ENJOYED MEETING THE CHARACTERS IN THIS NEW SERIES AND LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW THEM BETTER IN THE NEXT BOOK.

great start to new series

It is a bit quirky but fun. An interesting way to investigate a mystery surrounding poppy's birth and her parents.. Getting to know the characters is fun and quite a mix of bakers. I have to admit it was an eye opener about what all the bakers have to deal with doing that show. It has murder, a ghost, a familiar and newbie witch. looking forward to next book in this series

Fun story! Ok narration

I really liked this story and I generally like Hollis McCarthy as a narrator. I've heard her narrate other stories and have really enjoyed them. This time however, her accents were throwing me off and brining me out of the story. They weren't great 😕 As I said, I really like her as a narrator and will continue to listen to her work.

The story was pretty good and had some.neat twists. I look forward to trying the next in the series.

good story, bad British accents

As a fan of both GBBO and Nancy Warren, I decided to try this cozy paranormal mystery. I found the characters fun and the plot included just enough baking antics without overtaking the mystery. I'm interested in learning more about Poppy and her familial history but I doubt I'll be listening. I have enjoyed Hollis McCarthy's work in Kristen Painter's Jayne Frost series and her Poppy is fine but her British accents were atrocious. I'm not British but I listen to many books by British authors to not notice how off and awful the accents were. Since everyone except for Poppy are Brits, it kept yanking me out of the story. Bummer because this would be a fun series to listen to.

Wonderful

wonderful story and well written. and I can not wait to see what happens in the next book. This is the first time I have actually enjoyed Hollis Mccarthy as a narrator.
