Book Birthday - The Great Witches Baking Show - Nancy Warren




The Great Witches Baking Show:  A culinary cozy mystery
Published to Amazon on January 15, 2020
Author Nancy Warren



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 Bestselling Author Nancy Warren, this delicious series of cozy paranormal mysteries will have you guessing until the end. Includes recipes.


Official published review:
A watched pot never boils
What an enjoyable read. The author was really able to create a connection between the reader and the characters. The story does end in a conclusion for one mystery, but leaves us guessing and longing for the next book, about the answer to the mystery behind Poppy’s origins. I love how the characters really made a connection in such a short time and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. It really is like reality TV in a book and I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see who gets voted off next. I can only hope the author doesn’t make us wait too long.
