<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The author of the Phryne Fisher mysteries is back with a delightful new heroine, Corinna Chapman, owner of a Melbourne, Australia, bakery, who finds herself tagging along with Daniel on a case. Together they go head to head with a sinister religious cult on a mission.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Corinna Chapman, owner of the bakery Earthly Delights, detests Christmas. The shoppers are frantic and the heat oppressive in Melbourne, Australia, where Christmas is a summer festival. Corinna is a perfect size 20 with a genius for baking bread. And while dreaming of air-conditioned comfort, she finds herself dealing with a rose-addicted donkey named Serena, a maniacal mother with staring eyes, a distracted assistant seeking the definitive glacé cherry recipe, her friend the fearless witch Meroe, and the luscious Daniel with whom she would like to spend a lot more time.</p> <p>But Daniel is on the track of two runaways, Brigid and Manny. Their Romeo-and-Juliet romance is not as straightforward as it seems, and the pair will go a long way to avoid being found. With the help of a troupe of free-spirited freegans, three very clever internet hackers, and a bunch of singing vegans, Corinna and Daniel go head-to-head with a sinister religious cult on a mission and a band of Romanies out for revenge in a wild and wonderful chase against the clock.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A talented baker and her circle of unusual friends find themselves with a puzzle to solve that echoes many of the features of a much earlier Christmas story....Like Corinna's earlier adventures (<i>Trick or Treat</i>, 2009, etc.), this episode is cleverly written and chock full of charming characters, interesting puzzles and luscious descriptions of food with appended recipes.</p>-- "<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b>"<br><br><p>Lose all thought of New Year's diets, you who enter...Greenwood's delectable second Corinna Chapman cozy....[Her] 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.</p>-- "<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i> starred review of <i>Heavenly Pleasures</i></b>"<br><br><p>Put on the coffee pot, whip up a batch of muffins (yes, two recipes are included), and enjoy this thoroughly original tale. Strongly recommended for fans of offbeat mysteries. <b>(starred review)</b></p>-- "<i>Library Journal</i> starred review of <i>Earthly Delight</i>"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>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 <em>The Troubadours</em> 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 <em>Cocaine Blues</em> 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.</p>
