That was pretty dumb. The story didn’t use the Bake-off premise well and most of the characters were annoying.

This book was a lot of fun. British bake off with a murder mystery in a very creepy house.

With my rating system being:
<1 Finished it but wished I had DNFed instead. Several major criticisms.
1 Not the worst thing I've ever read but wouldn’t read it again; probably one major gripe.
2 Meh. No major sins but but don’t like it enough to buy a physical copy. It's fine. Just fine.
3 Liked it and will casually seek out a physical copy to have in my library
4 Thoroughly enjoyed it and have no major criticisms; will recommend to others, read again, and consider a special edition version
5 ABSOLUTELY FERAL FOR THIS BOOK, will not shut up about it, will maniacally and immediately seek out a special edition and/or bind one
I’m giving this a 1. It was just so annoying. All of the characters were unlikeable, but not in a compelling way or so bad that you can relish their awfulness. They’re all just boring and annoying. The writing felt dry and flat. By the time the mystery was revealed I was so bloody bored by the whole thing I didn’t care what happened, I just wanted it to be over. A shame, since I love GBBO and was intrigued by a mystery twist, but this has absolutely none of the charm of either GBBO or trashy reality TV.
