Devil'S Food Corinna Chapman Murder Mysteries 3 Kerry Greenwood Books

I have read the first three books. They are about Corinna Chapman, a baker, and her bakery, Earthly Delights. Earthly Delights is in a building named Insula, with four shops on the ground floor, (each with an adjoining residence above it). Then floors two through eight each have two apartments per floor, all top with a roof garden. This provides us with many secondary characters to provide extra story lines to weave throughout each books main plot. The stories are mysteries of murder and misdeeds. They are also about the mysteries of life and people. The mysteries are full of turns and satisfy.

To say I want to live there is not uncommon when you're in the middle of a book. But I want to live there even when the book is finished. I want to take up one of the empty flats and make friends with these people.
Kerry Greenwood wrote/writes the Phryne Fisher Mysteries, which I have seen on TV, and have purchased in both DVD and book form but I haven't yet read the books. I will as soon as I can put down this series. I wonder if I will find that I want to read them out loud as I do these. It is a rare modern author whose flow of words begs you to read it out loud, even when you are alone in the room. Her words feel satiny like melting chocolate in my mouth, like poetry. In book three she quotes from Marcus Aurelius, Winnie the Pooh and Tolkien at different times, for me that is pretty cool!

Devil'S Food Corinna Chapman Murder Mysteries 3 Kerry Greenwood Books Reviews

Like Greenwood's stuff, geographical correctness is important for me, she obviously loves Melbourne and cares enough to get the geography right. Also like Corinna, built on Kerry's frame, unlike the sylph Phrine.
Although this author has written many books, I picked up Earthly Delights, the first in this series, as a free ebook and fell in love with the characters and series. This one is the 3rd in the series - and although I have lived for 4 years in the land of Oz, it was several years ago and some of the slang has me a bit at a loss. That's really the only thing I can fault it for.

In this episode, Corinna is tasked with making an awful tasting bread from a recipe provided to her. Not really sure why, if they had the recipe and wanted to make it awful, they would hire a baker to do it. However, again the author crafts an amusing story full of twists and turns and if your interests lie in a funny mystery, this book is for you.
Corinna is still baking, with her assistant baker, Jason, but they are asked to bake bread with little taste to bad taste. And, young people are dying of some type of ingestion, no one knows from where it comes, or what it is. Daniel, Corrina's significant other, who works as a private investigator and Corinna work together to try to figure how and why these young people are hallucinating and dying, in a regularly irregular pattern. Mistress Dread is helping them, to everyone's surprise.
Mysterious things are happening around Corinna Chapman's baker, Earthly Delights. She is asked to bake an inedible bread and her two front store clerks are nearly poised by a strange weight loss herbal tea. Then there is the new restaurant/nightclub, Cafe Vlad Tepes.

Corinna Chapman is an original and her fellow characters are a delight. And while the stories are never very deep, they are a pleasure to read and indeed, I like a story where the main female character is not rail thin, overwhelmingly fit, beautiful and sometimes extremely stupid. Kerry Greenwood has a winning sense of telling a story and having you care for the characters. Even the cats in the book are fun to read about.

All is not well for Baker Corinna Chapman despite her successful business and the acquisitions of both a promising young apprentice and a handsome, sensual private eye/partner.

Jason, her young apprentice, had entered into a deal to produce "famine bread" for a group of monks who had established themselves in a property in Melbourne. Given that their only complaint had been that she had made the bread taste too good, it seems they were seriously into mortifying the flesh. And speaking of mortifying-- her unwashed, unpleasant and hysterical mother shows up at the bakery to demand Corinna's help in finding Corinna's father, who had taken off on a mid-life crisis to find "young flesh". Finally, it appears that her two young shop assistants hae fallen victim to a dangerous diet aid.

There's other mysteries that Corinna must solve which introduces the reader to some other venues (including one that is distinctly sad), as she searches for her father.

This one is also narrated by the inestimable Louise Siverson in her warm, kind tones.

I'm going to take a break in the series here, but I'm sure I will be back to finish the rest. The second book in the series was Heavenly Pleasures A Corinna Chapman Mystery. The next is Trick or Treat A Corinna Chapman Mystery.
This is book 3 in this series--written by Kerry Greenwood, who also penned the excellent Phryne Fisher series. Set in Melbourne, it tracks the life of Corinna Chapman, a baker by early morning and afternoon, and amateur detective by night and weekend. Not a sleuth by trade, she ends up solving mysteries that just come her way. In this book, for instance, she is looking for her dad (reluctantly, as they are not close). And, when her morning help become desperately sick, she decides to track down the source of the poisonous herbs which are being sold as diet meds.
Corinna's team of helpers is diverse and delightful, and the plot is solid and well paced. (And the food sounds delicious!)
