It's murder on the dance floor, as Cherry is about to discover Keeping temperamental ballroom dancers happy feels like a full-time job for the producer of TV night show The Dance is Right. So when star dancer Nadiya Slipchenko senses that she is in danger, she turns to local detective Cherry Hinton to act as an on-set bodyguard. Though Cherry is sceptical of Nadiya's claims at first, it's not long before things start to make her story add up. Then the host of the show is found dead and suddenly even the police start taking it seriously. Cherry - who has her hands full making cakes for her bakery and avoiding turning up on Watch My Ex Having Sex - teams up with her former flame DS Jacob Stowe to get to the truth of the matter. Can Cherry and Jacob solve the case before it is too late?

Reality TV turns deadly in Cherry Hinton's first case When Kenny Thorpe, a contestant on Expose TV's Big Blubber, the hot new celebrity weight-loss show, is murdered on live television in front of 3 million viewers, the case seems pretty watertight. After all, everyone saw Martin do it - didn't they? Cherry Hinton knows there's more to this than meets the eye. As an investigative reporter, she went undercover on dating show Caravan of Love... but after getting in too deep with one of the other contestants, she was caught knickerless in front of the nation. Humiliated, fired and heartbroken, she has fled to Brentwood, where she opens a cake shop, and tries to forget all about Expose. Until Kenny Thorpe's sister walks into her shop with a letter that turns Cherry's world upside down. Is Martin innocent? How is infamous gangster Leon Solent involved? Is Expose to blame, and is there a killer still on the loose? Cherry is the only one in a position to find out. Praise for Cherry Slice: "If you're in need of comic distraction (as we all are...) this is extremely funny." Harriet Tyce, author of international bestseller Blood Orange "A scathingly satirical look at reality TV and society's hypocritical standards, Cherry Slice might not be as nice as pie, but its gooey centre is our intrepid P.I Cherry Hinton ... I think I love her!" Lucy V. Hay, author of Never Have I Ever What people are saying about Cherry Slice: "A fast, fun cozy mystery." "Cherry is a hoot and a half!
