Posted January 10, 2025 by Whitney in Review / 0 Comments

Reviews Done Quick The Golden Spoon is The Great British Bake Off meets Agatha Christie. Jessa Maxwell created a fun, read-into-the-night mystery that kept me guessing and deeply invested in the story, not just for the whodunit aspect but also for the characters’ backstories, particularly Betsy.
