'A breathtaking, tension-filled, kaleidoscopic whirl . . . This book has it all. Masterful' ? Abir Mukherjee, bestselling author of Hunted

That?s the trouble with stories, especially the ones you write for yourself. Sometimes you think they've ended, when they've barely begun . . .
London, 1749. Following the murder of her husband in what looks like a violent street robbery, Hannah Cole is struggling to keep her head above water. The Punchbowl and Pineapple, her confectionary shop on Piccadilly, is barely turning a profit. Henry Fielding, the famous author and new magistrate, is threatening to confiscate the money in her husband?s bank account, because he believes it might have been illicitly acquired. And even those who claim to be Hannah?s friends have darker intent.
Only William Devereux seems different. A friend of her late husband, Devereux helps Hannah unravel some of the mysteries surrounding his death. He also tells her about an Italian delicacy called iced cream, an innovation she is convinced will transform the fortunes of her shop ? if only she can learn how to make it. But their friendship opens Hannah to speculation and gossip and draws Henry Fielding?s attention her way, locking her into a battle of wits more devastating than anything, even her husband?s murder.
'An irresistible confection to beguile, bemuse and delight, with a slither of ice at its heart' ? Essie Fox, bestselling author of The Fascination
'Spellbinding . . . The work of a master storyteller!' ? William Hussey, award-winning author of Killing Jericho
Told with authority and panache, [Laura] Shepherd-Robinson takes us on a breathtaking, tension-filled, kaleidoscopic whirl through the Georgian London of the striving middle classes and those who would prey upon them. A woman fighting for her future, murder, romance, deception ? and the best desserts in town ? this book has it all. Masterful More
