Feared by restaurant owners as much as he is loved by the public, Maurice intends to win the competition, by fair means or foul. It seems though that there is someone who is equally intent on stopping him from winning, and will stop at nothing to ensure he is knocked out before the final cake is baked.With the reputation of the bakery, and her own liberty, at stake, can April find out who is behind the attacks before the police arrest her. For although there is no shortage of suspects, it is April herself who appears to be the one that has the most to lose.The second book in the Gull Bay Mystery series featuring April Hart, and the irascible, inappropriately named Hope.Ashley Cain is a writer who feels blessed to have lived on the small island of Jersey, the sunniest area in the British Isles.
