What Would Mary Berry Do?
What Would Mary Berry Do? is Claire Sandy’s first foray into the world of the novelist.
In a world where you are judged at the school gates on your prowess in the kitchen, dentist Marie begins to buckle under her own desire to be a domestic goddess.
Neighbour Lucy is a veritable Delia Smith who induces in Marie pangs of jealousy for her perfect foe. But Marie has had enough, and has set herself a year to conquer her kitchen demons.
Business looks shaky for Marie too when a rival dental practice sets up in the town, and then her twin daughters decide that they want to match-make their brother Angus with Lucy’s step-daughter.
Thin cracks begin to appear in Lucy’s picture perfect life, is everything as it seems? And will Marie crack a show-stopper in time for the school fete?
This offering is similar to many baking-themed novels on the shelves, just not as pacy.
There’s no real hook or drive to get you to turn the page — not bad, just average.
