The Lemon Tart Affair - A Cassandra Blake Mystery

The Lemon Tart Affair
A Cassandra Blake Mystery — Season 1, Episode 1

In the postcard-perfect Dorset village of Willowcombe, everyone knows everyone else's business—or at least they think they do.

Cassandra Blake spends her mornings baking sourdough and flat whites at Blake's Bakery and her afternoons trying to avoid village gossip. But when respected local historian Eleanor Carraway is found dead in her garden only days after hinting she'd uncovered something worth exposing, Cassandra finds herself drawn into questions the police aren't asking.

The early suspicion points toward a tragic reaction to something Eleanor ate.

Yet Cassandra can't shake the feeling that something doesn't fit. A rival baker's lemon tarts. A nervous widower. A secret Eleanor seemed determined to reveal. And a village where old grudges linger far longer than they should.

As the harbour town whispers, Inspector Laurence Hughes begins his investigation—and Cassandra opens a notebook of her own.

Perfect for fans of cozy British mysteries, seaside villages, clever amateur sleuths, and recipes worth killing for.

Includes the episode recipe: Blackberry & Bay Cream Tarts.
The first clue is hidden beneath the sweetness.
