About this listen

 Corinna Chapman, baker extraordinaire, talented sleuth, stalwart friend and lover is back! When a distraught Scottish veteran from Afghanistan is knocked unconscious, waking up to find his beloved ex-service dog missing, Corinna and her lover, Daniel, find themselves inextricably drawn into the machinations of a notorious underworld gang of drug runners. Corinna and Daniel need to pull together all the strings to find the connections between their wandering Scottish veteran, his kidnapped dog, a student dramatic society that's moved into Corinna's building, burglaries, and the threatening notes that begin to mysteriously appear in Corinna's apartment. Between her forays into danger, there is still time in Corinna's life for tender encounters as the delicious aromas of newly baked breads, muffins and treats waft out of Corinna's bakery, Earthly Delights.©2018 Kerry Greenwood (P)2018 Bolinda Publishing Amateur Sleuths Animals Culinary Detective Fiction Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Mystery Dogs

Critic Reviews

'Audio has to be the best way to read a Kerry Greenwood novel. The Australian accents are delicious, and a deft narrator sweeps you happily past any momentary questions about believability.' (AudioFile)
'Corinna Chapman is an absolute delight.' (Bookseller + Publisher)
'Greenwood is a modern master of the gracious detective story ... she meticulously blends a hint of unease into the mix... Greenwood knows a proper feast includes the savoury and the sweet. Hers is a unique voice in crime fiction.' (The Age)

Love the story, pity about the change of narrator

The story is more like the Melbourne prior 2020, I do I I’ve the humour. My only criticism is that I am really not loving the new narrator. This is Australia and not New Zealand - we have very different accents.

Another fun romp through Melbourne

If you've read the other Corina Chapmen books and enjoyed them, then you'll love this latest installment.
These books are relaxing, fun, and easy to read. Good characters and another puzzling mystery to leisurely follow.
This series is great bedtime or holiday reading, or in a year like 2020 when you just want a nice break from the weight of the world.

oh no!

I just started listening to this book. Book 7 in the series and I am so disappointed. It is not narrated by Louise Siversen as all the others have been and instead of feeling like a comfortable friend it feels weird.

Change isn’t always a good thing

A perfectly acceptable performance but why change the reader after six books? None of the characters sounded right. It almost felt like this book didn’t fit in the series.

narrator ruins this ...

anyone who loves these series has come to expect the voices, and characters to be a certain way, while i understand things change, the narrator didn't even attempt to continue on, on the previous 6 books characters now have completely different accents (from Australian to new Zealand in two characters cases) and pronounces many characters names totally wrong. such a let down on an otherwise great story
