Description

"Lose all thought of New Year's diets, you who enter Australian author Greenwood's delectable second Corinna Chapman cozy." —Publishers Weekly STARRED review

Corinna Chapman wakes at four every morning to make bread. She's happy with her life. The residents of her little Melbourne community finally caught the rotten man sending those "scarlet woman" letters. The former addict she rescued from her alleyway, Jason, is shaping into a good apprentice. And her beautiful Israeli lover, Daniel, who has been away for the last couple of weeks, is as enchanting as ever.

Corinna has no intention of doing any more investigative work...until she bites into what should have been a lovely violet cream gourmet chocolate and instead chomps a chili-filled catastrophe.

Could someone want Heavenly Pleasures, her friends' chocolate shop, to fail? Is this tasteless tampering part of an elaborate and horrible joke? Or is it a warning that worse is to come?

Then Daniel returns bruised and battered from a run-in with a so-called messiah. Could the assailant be involved in the chocolate crime as well? And who is the mysterious man who has moved into the upper apartment?

      • bioText:

        Kerry Greenwood was born in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray and after wandering far and wide, she returned to live there. She has degrees in English and Law from Melbourne University and was admitted to the legal profession on the 1st April 1982, a day which she finds both soothing and significant. Kerry has written three series, a number of plays, including The Troubadours with Stephen D'Arcy, is an award-winning children's writer and has edited and contributed to several anthologies. The Phryne Fisher series (pronounced Fry-knee, to rhyme with briny) began in 1989 with Cocaine Blues which was a great success. Kerry has written twenty books in this series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol. Kerry says that as long as people want to read them, she can keep writing them. In 2003 Kerry won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Association.

        Starred review from April 14, 2008
        Lose all thought of New Year’s diets, you who enter Australian author Greenwood’s delectable second Corinna Chapman cozy (after 2007’s Earthly Delights
        ). Corinna, formerly an XL-sized accountant in power suit and kitten heels, runs a downtown Melbourne artisan bakery, attached to a tantalizing Roman-themed apartment building housing a rich assortment of eccentrics. These include leather queen Mistress Dread; Corinna’s omnivorous reforming junkie apprentice, Jason; Meroe, a Wiccan witch; Corinna’s private zooful of arrogant cats; and Daniel, her gorgeous trout-pool–eyed ex-Israeli soldier lover, who providentially for Corinna adores ’em supersized—and he cooks, too. When someone starts injecting a neighboring shop’s lavishly described Belgian chocolates with chili sauce, Corinna leaves kneading for detecting, while Daniel struggles to unmask a slithering, slavering self-proclaimed boy messiah. Greenwood’s yeasty soufflé of unlikely but satisfying elements quickly thickens over the top, but who cares—it all just leads to Corinna’s recipe for Chocolate Orgasm Muffins.

        April 1, 2008
        In this second Corinna Chapman adventure (after "Earthly Delights"), the chocolates made by Heavenly Pleasures, a shop in the complex where Chapman runs her bakery, are being sabotaged. Then, a bomb surfaces in the lobby, and Corinna and her boyfriend, an ex-Israeli soldier, go into action. Set in Melbourne, Australia, with a neat cast of wacky characters, this is a pleasure to read. Recipes included. [See Prepub Mystery, "LJ" 2/1/08.]

        March 1, 2008
        Corinna Chapman, the likable Australian baker-sleuth, returns for her second adventure (after Earthly Delights, 2007). Someone has been sabotaging the confections at a friends chocolate shop, and if theres one thing Corinna cant stand, its seeing a friend being victimized. Compicating matters is the recent return of Daniel, her lover, still recovering from an encounter with a self-styled messiah who just might be messed up in the chocolate-shop case. The Chapman novels are written in a style similar to the authors better-known Phryne Fisher mysteries: light, witty, and fast-paced. Add this tasty bonbon to the growing shelf of culinary mysteries.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
