Some members of the Skipton city council are dying. Others seem to have fancy new cars, or have gone off on pricey vacations. Empty farms have been discovered, and there have been threatening letters. When the Council person from Toot Hansell becomes a victim, one of the members of the local WI just has to step in and replace him, doesn't she? When she is targeted, DI Adams steps in to figure out what is going on. So do the dragons. (Think about that). Game of Scones is the fourth of the Beaufort Scales Mystery books by Kim M. Watt.
