A television crew comes to Jane's town to film an episode for a famous baking competition show.

As Jane and Rebecca refuse to enter the competition, Eleanor?a devoted fan with far more enthusiasm than culinary skill?eagerly signs up as a contestant.

But the sweet atmosphere turns sour when the competition's frontrunner is found dead. Suddenly, all participants, including Eleanor, fall under suspicion.

With Detective Damon McCloud still in Scotland to give evidence, Jane, Matilda, and Eleanor must sift through the clues?with dubious help from Mr. Crumbles, the naughty cat, and Billy, the wild goat.

Can this unconventional team serve justice before the killer strikes again?
