A pinch of murder in paradise, a dash of ruined reputations, and a splash of rivalry. English country living has never been deadlier...

I'm in a bind when I'm given the crucial task of preventing a death by Lady Philippa Audley. I have no idea who's about to die or how they'll meet a sticky end! But Lady Philippa has an eerie way of knowing when trouble is coming, so I can't ignore her prediction of murder.

When the killer strikes during a friendly longbow shooting competition, everyone is stunned. Was this an accident, or did someone target the victim? As I hunt for the truth, I discover work rivals, a neglected girlfriend, and intense jealousy.

Risking my safety, and ignoring the warning from castle security to stay out of the investigation, I'm determined to find the truth. If I fail, a killer will go free, and justice won't prevail. And just like a soggy-bottomed cake, I can't let that happen.

With the odds stacked against me, and a second castle guest falling prey to the longbow killer, I'm running out of time to stop another tragedy. But I will. Because just like one of my chocolate souffles, I rise to meet a challenge.
