When Shauna Wickles enters the Bakeoff, she expects that she will delight the judges, charm the nation and meet a few friends along the way. She did not expect to be an amateur sleuth investigating the poisoning of a fellow contestant. It is up to her to figure out who the killer is while avoiding elimination from the contest.
The comic is as delightful as a British traybake. The cast of characters is diverse. There is the retired grandmother, Shauna, a choir director, street musician, dental technician, meteorologist and a pharmacist to name a few. Some contestants are pleasant while others are "competitive." This is a goofy rendition of the British TV show that female readers will definitely like. It might be too sacharine sweet for superhero comic readers though. ( )
