A deadly pie, a Cold War poison, and a nosy tourist… Betty’s new life is a recipe for disaster.

Betty Fletcher has finally traded her MI6 tactical gear for an apron and a rolling pin. Life in the picturesque Cotswold village of Bramblewick is supposed to be quiet — just her, her retired police dog Major, and a peaceful routine of baking sourdough and minding her own business.

But when the annual Bramblewick Village Fête turns deadly and the notoriously loathed pie contest judge collapses face-first into a rhubarb crumble, Betty’s quiet life is quickly derailed. The bumbling local constable points the finger at the vicar’s flustered wife. Betty knows better — she’s seen this kind of kill before.

To make matters worse, a suspicious “tourist” has appeared in town, asking far too many questions about the new baker and her reflexes. With her cover hanging by a thread and a killer hiding in plain sight, Betty must dust off skills she swore she’d buried to clear her neighbour’s name before the real culprit strikes again — or before someone from her past decides she’s the loose end.
