ABOUT RECIPES FOR LOVE AND M**der
“In a year with several exciting first novels, South African author Sally Andrew pretty much takes the crown with her appealing debut—the exotic locale, the lovely patois and the heroine's unique sensibility make Ms. Andrew's recipes a blue-ribbon winner.”—Wall Street Journal
Food writer turned advice columnist Annie Maria has a knack and a passion for helping readers hungry for help with matters of the heart. The middle-aged widow better know as Tannie “Auntie” Maria loves to cook (and eat) and a recipe is always part of the remedy she offers.
When a woman desperate to escape her abusive husband is murdered after contacting Tannie Maria, the curious columnist becomes dangerously entwined in the investigation. The victim’s story has forced her to face the pain of her own past, and she's determined to see justice done. Kannemeyer, the handsome detective assigned to the case, is equally determined to keep the charming Tantie Maria safe. But his job won’t be easy, because this practical, down-to-earth woman has suddenly mixed herself up in something much more sinister than perfecting a chocolate cake . . .
