Tibbyhill Lane Tea Shop Mystery: Book 5 in the works

DON'T JUDGE A CAKE BY ITS ICINGĀ 

Book 5 has been a fun romp to write. I'm on chapter 10 of 15. Poppy Ellis is up to her elbows in facts and clues that take her up and down the roads, homes, and shops of Tibbyhill to find the culprit who sabotaged a village cake-off in her tea shop. Was it a judge, an onlooker, or another contestant that tainted a cake to cause a horrible reaction when eaten? There's also a loveable pug dog that ends up as a guest with Poppy and her aunts in their flat above the shop. Red herrings intermingle with the real perpetrator for twists and turns. Stand by. I hope to have it out in November. Cheers
