Murder is AFOOT in this brand new murder-mystery series by leading adult crime writer, Alexandra Benedict. Perfect for fans of Robin Stevens and the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time with a puzzle hook for middle grade readers.

People will die for a good mince pie… Every year, six local schools compete to win the Christmas Cup. Last year, the rival school to Brooke Parkin’s school won for the most crackers pulled in a minute! This year, the cup will be judged and awarded to the school with the perfect mince pie.

But when a series of murders seem to be linked to the very mince pies (each with a clue from a letter of the alphabet imprinted in the pastry), the five neuro-divergent children must turn detective and combine their skill sets to find the killer. Can they prevent another death and save their out-of-school club from being shut down forever…?
