IMO not just light but featherweight cozy mystery. I'm a fan of the Great British Baking Show, so I really liked the concept. Actually it was kind of fun to already have mental images of the scenes. I read it quickly, and it was an okay couple hours, but each secret was so obvious to me I didn't feel any satisfaction when they were revealed. It's mostly told from first-person POV of the six contestants (Betsy gets 3rd person), but they all sounded exactly alike. I read this is going to be a mini-series on Hulu and I'd probably watch it, but I'm grading the book a mid-to-low "B".
