Jane Austen meets Agatha Christie in a contemporary twist on the traditional village mystery combining  romance, murder, and culinary one-upmanship. When the Netherfield Charity Ball committee announces a cooking competition to cater the seventieth anniversary celebration, chef and nascent gelato entrepreneur Darcy Fitzwilliam and disgraced TV bad boy baker Bennet Longbourne, vow to do anything to win. Darcy sees this as a way to promote her fledgling ice cream business while Bennet is looking for a way to repair his damaged reputation. The rivals try to resist an undeniable spark. But murder turns up the heat and they jump from the frying pan into the fire as they race to uncover the perpetrator. Lady Agatha Carstairs-Macdonald, Chesney Hardcastle's self-appointed Miss Marple, joins to unravel the clues as Darcy, Bennet, and the police hunt for a killer who uses social media to taunt the contestants.
