Fatal Fungus

One amazing bake-off. Twelve golden pies. Windy & Darling, back in stride.

Bogus Hole: an unspoiled village gem, where badgers rule OK, market traders barter and bawl, and worn cobbles belt out a rustic beat. In this country lover’s Eden, there’s a quiet certainty all’s well, until a charity pie auction dishes up death under a dome of flawless, crimped pastry.

Treachery triggers on a brisk autumn evening, when Linkville Community Council proposes a goodwill sale to mark the first anniversary of Sycamore Medical Centre. An invitation to secret bakers to compete in a bake-off like no other for twelve coveted places on the prized gingham table where the finest creations will tempt doctors with deep pockets and deeper egos. With pride and reputations at stake, competition’s fierce and bidding fiercer, setting the scene for a sinister showdown. Rivalries simmer, bids soar, and among festive fairy lights, venom takes root.

When a heartless doctor collapses at the annual festive fair and later dies, unholy rumours echo around the market square’s Christmas tree. Whose pie decked the not-so-fun-guy, and why? Was it an honest blunder by a clueless baker? A reckless prank that went horribly wrong? Or did someone serve up lingering vengeance with a perfect crust? Somewhere between poison and pastry lies the truth.

A shock arrest sees Windy & Darling hit the fatal fungus trail, where they forage for clues to foil injustice. In a tangled village thick with grudges, where everyone has something to hide and something more to gain, the sparring sleuths uncover bristling revenge, infidelity, and caustic corruption. Every answer carries a crooked curveball. Every suspect nurses a misleading motive.

With time ticking and the death knell poised to toll, the daring duo race to unravel a gnarled, deep-rooted conundrum. Can wicked wordplay, ancient woodland, and a mouldy old map unmask the shrewd villain before herald angels claim another poor soul?

Brimful of simmering tension, a cast of characters unaware of their own absurdity, and a plot to outfox the sharpest mind, Fatal Fungus reunites Windy & Darling in a delicious mystery where pastry is perilous, and good grace turns horribly lethal. Witty without whimsy, dark without dour, join our artful duo’s fast-paced foray into the fiendish fungal core of Treetonshire County, where humble pie proves hard to swallow.
