Kerry Greenwoodin viihderomaanissa sekoitetaan gastronomiaa rikosten selvittelyyn, eikä lopputulos maistu pahalta ollenkaan: Heavenly pleasures (Allen & Unwin, 2009; ISBN 978-1-74115-651-5).
Teos on toinen romaani kirjasarjassa. Päähenkilö on Corinna Chapman, joka leipuriliikkeen pyörittämisen ohessa selvittelee kulmakunnalla tapahtuvia kummallisia tapahtumia. Corinna on jämäkkä pulska naisihminen, jonka elämänasenne on melkolailla rempseä, ja energiaa riittää muidenkin ihmisten asioiden kuntoon laittamiseen.
The owner of Heavenly Pleasures (maker of the most gorgeous chocolates in town) is distraught. Someone is spiking her very expensive chocolates. Is it an elaborate and horrible joke, or is it a warning that worse may yet happen? Baker and (reluctant) sleuth Corinna Chapman is compelled to investigate.
No one has less interest in mysteries than Corinna Chapman, who has bread to bake, but they seem to be arising spontaneously in the vicinity of her bakery, Earthly Delights. Between the mouth-watering distractions of loaves and muffins, of Jason her apprentice and Horatio the cat, she's keeping an eye on the door as she waits for the exciting Daniel, her recently acquired lover, to walk back into her life. After a week of no communication Daniel finally returns, bruised and battered from a run-in with a so-called messiah.
