The Great British Bump-Off #2

Three eager bakers — a broad-shouldered man, a focused blonde young woman, and a cheerful dark-haired woman — peer over their silver serving cloches in the foreground, while an ominous silhouette looms behind them, knife in hand and tea set tumbling ominously. John Allison, Max Sarin, Sammy Borras, and Jim Campbell bring a delightfully cozy-yet-sinister energy to this 2023 Dark Horse series, where competitive baking and something far more dangerous appear to share the same kitchen. If you like your mysteries with a generous helping of British charm, issue #2 of The Great British Bump-Off looks like exactly the right recipe.
