MEDIA REVIEWS
'Knives Out meets The Great British Bake Off. Jessa Maxwell has whisked up a perfectly layered mystery,easily deserving of a hearty Hollywood Handshake'- Tom Hindle
'I loved it. The Great British Bake Off meets And Then There Were None. As a story it has the perfect ingredients - secrets,ambitions,jealousies,redemptions - blended to perfection,with a murder so strong and compelling it was the cherry on the cake. Like any good recipe each character was sharp and distinctive,bringing a flavour all of their own'- J.M. Hall
'Any successful attempt at baking needs the right ingredients,precise timing and talent. The Golden Spoon has all that in ladles full. Great characters,a great plot,and like a spoon above a dessert,very difficult to put down'- Ian Moore
'A delectably fun mystery'- The Washington Post
'Two things I love are great food and a great mystery - and The Golden Spoon has both. This delicious combination of Clue and The Great British Bake Off kept me turning the pages all night!'- Janet Evanovich
