3.5 stars. A lighthearted read, set in a Scottish Manor, brimming with mentions of baked goodies that had my tummy rumbling.
The charming elderly laird, Hugo, leaves a surprise in his will for protagonist Lara, helping her pursue her dream of baking.
A cast of colourful characters including numerous delightful sounding cakes, and a brooding sculptor, Vaughan.
There were some nice little tie ins at the end which gave me a smile.
