The first book in a delicious crime series set in rural South Africa?mystery, humor, romance, and recipes mixed together in a charming whodunit Tannie Maria (?tannie? meaning auntie, the respectful Afrikaans address for a woman older than you) is a middle-aged widow who likes to cook?and eat.

Assisting other people with their problems, Tannie Maria is eventually forced to face her own issues?and, suddenly, this down-to-earth woman is involved in something much more sinister than perfecting her chocolate cake recipe. . . .
