    "description": "<p><em>Only Murders in the Building</em> meets <em>The Maid</em> in this darkly beguiling locked-room mystery where someone turns up dead on the set of TV&rsquo;s hottest baking competition&mdash;perfect for fans of Nita Prose, Richard Osman, and Anthony Horowitz. Every summer for the past ten years, six awe-struck bakers have descended on the grounds of Grafton, the leafy and imposing Vermont estate that is not only the filming site for &ldquo;Bake Week&rdquo; but also the childhood home of the show&rsquo;s famous host, celebrated baker Betsy Martin. The author of numerous bestselling cookbooks and hailed as &ldquo;America&rsquo;s Grandmother,&rdquo; Betsy Martin isn&rsquo;t as warm off-screen as on, though no one needs to know that but her. She has always demanded perfection, and gotten it with a smile, but this year something is off. As the baking competition commences, things begin to go awry. At first, it&rsquo;s merely sabotage&mdash;sugar replaced with salt, a burner turned to high&mdash;but when a body is discovered, everyone is a suspect. A sharp and suspenseful thriller for mystery buffs and avid bakers alike, The Golden Spoon is a brilliant puzzle filled with shocking twists and turns that will keep you reading late into the night until you turn the very last page of this incredible debut.</p>",
