Australia, poisons, war-booty, witches, friendship, greed, investigation Another delightfully complex mystery with Corinna, Daniel, and the characters who live in the building known as Insula. The investigations are into people poisoned with what seems to be LSD, a megalomaniac who claims to be the King of Witches and a ceremony, unusual WW2 booty from Greece showing up locally in Australia, and a few other things. Addictive series! Louise Siverson is absolutely fantastic in voice interpretation of the interesting characters! In the fourth book of this series baker Corina Chapman is having a tough time with a competitor opening up shop a few doors away from her business and her boyfriend inviting a long-legged, beautiful woman to stay with him. If that’s not enough it seems there might be some extra-nasty drugs being sold nearby that are sending people mad. Do you have a friend who you’ve known for ages and whose family gatherings you are automatically invited to? And does this friend’s family delight you with its eccentric members and good-heartedness although you can see how it might be less delightful to be related to them than to drop in (and out) when it pleases you? I do have a friend like this but I have to say that the gang in the Corina Chapman series are nearly as much fun to visit as her family. Corina is funny, socially conscious and a highly credible reluctant amateur detective, her boyfriend is a former Israeli soldier who does a nice line in romantic gestures and in this outing her friend the white witch and an ex drug-addict turned apprentice baker feature heavily. They’re all, along with the rest of the residents of the Insula apartment building, great characters. I often think, at the start of these books, that I’m just going to revel in the characters and not worry too much about the invariably slightly-odd story but I always get engaged by the deft way in which the subjects are handled. This one features a couple of story lines that are both intriguing and well researched and, in combination with the clever and amusing writing style round out a terrific reading experience. If you’re into ‘cosies’ you’ll love this book and if you’re looking for something a little light but still intelligent and witty then I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Sure it’s a little fantastical but a happy ending every now and again is just what my doctor ordered. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: "A rich confection that nicely balances humor, villainy, and a puzzle." ??Publishers Weekly When crowds flock to purchase bread from a cut-price franchise bakery just down the street from Earthly Delights, baker Corinna Chapman is understandably nervous. Meanwhile, her lover Daniel's old friend Georgiana Hope has set up residence in his house. She's tall, blonde, and gorgeous, and it doesn't take Corinna long to suspect she's up to something. Daniel is making excuses, and Corinna is worried about his sudden, frequent absences. But even more worrisome is the strange outbreak of madness that seems to be centered on Lonsdale Street. Can Corinna master a maze of health regulations, her missing boyfriend, sinister strangers, fraudulent companies, and back-alley ambushes? Or this time, will Earthly Delights Bakery be well and truly done? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
