A Walk In The Parkin
The residents of Baker’s Rise are on tour in this seventh story in the popular mystery series. Of course, the book is jam packed with the usual cosy humour and unexpected happenings which make these stories so popular!
A honeymoon in Yorkshire was just what Flora needed – it’s a shame that nothing regarding the trip has gone to plan. If three’s a crowd, then what’s four?
With a feathery stowaway, an unexpected heatwave and a mix-up with rooms, it’s fair to say that the holiday doesn’t start well!
Flora tries to make the best of it, but when a lifeless body turns up after the hotel’s baking class, it’s not only romance that’s dead!
There appears to be no love in the air on this visit to Lillymouth – instead, the foul stench of death and false accusations. Can Flora and her friends uncover the real murderer or will only three be returning to Baker’s Rise?
Packed with twists and turns, colourful characters and a surprise arrival or two, this new mystery will certainly leave you hungry for more!
Contains a tasty parkin recipe!
Note from the Since the same quirky cast of characters feature in each instalment of the Baker's Rise Mysteries, the books are best enjoyed when read in order!

In the 7th book of this cozy mystery series, Flora, Tanya, Betty and Jean are off on what would have been Flora and Adam's honeymoon to Lillymouth. On the way, Flora discovers a couple of stowaways!
Once they reach their hotel, the fun and games start, with accomodation not being what was expected and when a baking class goes wrong, Flora feels the holiday is doomed, but that's not the least of her problems.
Each book is a standalone mystery but the books are best read in order of publication to preserve continuity of the characters and series.
This book and one of the characters we meet, the vicar, Daisy Bloom, starts a new series of books by the same author, The Lillymouth Mysteries; the first book being Fresh as a Daisy. I'm going to be downloading it as soon as I finish the books released so far in this series.

I loved revisiting Flora and her friends in this instalment of the Baker's Rise Mysteries. Although I was a little upset not to be in Baker's Rise, it was fun to see the characters outside of their usual setting. With another mystery to solve, Flora and her friends leave you turning the pages wanting to discover what's happened.

Too much Parrott
I have enjoyed all of these books and I realize Reggie is necessary for fighting the bad guys but I almost quit reading this one in the middle. I wanted to say Put the bird in the carrier and shut him up. It felt ridiculous that in the midst of murders, anybody would tolerate his antics. I finished it, though, after reading another book for a couple of days, and I may read the next, but this bird is very aggravating.

Road trip!
Once again, Flora and Reggie stumble, literally!, onto murder and mayhem. This time, they're with three friends at a seashore village. Baking classes, a mother-son duo and several suspicious characters.
And Reggie makes a friend, sort of.
Onto book eight and the spin-off series.

Yet another high quality book in a great cozy mystery series! The unique hook is the cheeky parrot sidekick. Good fun!
