"Lose all thought of New Year's diets, you who enter Australian author Greenwood's delectable second Corinna Chapman cozy." â??Publishers Weekly STARRED review

Corinna Chapman wakes at four every morning to make bread. She's happy with her life. The residents of her little Melbourne community finally caught the rotten man sending those "scarlet woman" letters. The former addict she rescued from her alleyway, Jason, is shaping into a good apprentice. And her beautiful Israeli lover, Daniel, who has been away for the last couple of weeks, is as enchanting as ever.

Corinna has no intention of doing any more investigative work...until she bites into what should have been a lovely violet cream gourmet chocolate and instead chomps a chili-filled catastrophe.

Could someone want Heavenly Pleasures, her friends' chocolate shop, to fail? Is this tasteless tampering part of an elaborate and horrible joke? Or is it a warning that worse is to come?

Then Daniel returns bruised and battered from a run-in with a so-called messiah. Could the assailant be involved in the chocolate crime as well? And who is the mysterious man who has moved into the upper apartment?… (meer)

Heavenly Pleasures - Greenwood
3 stars

This book shares its title with a gourmet chocolate store in Melbourne. Corinna Chapman is drawn into the troubles of the shop owners when someone begins to spike the chocolates with nasty flavors. A bomb threat, real estate fraud, and a lost kitten are also on the menu. I enjoyed Corinna’s quirky companions but the mysteries were not compelling. It’s also interesting that a book published less than 20 years ago could already feel dated. ( )

I started reading this, and then realized it was the second book in the series. The first 15 pages were intriguing enough that I went and found the first book, in audiobook format, and listened to it before continuing.

I liked the first book, but somehow when I returned to this book, it didn't work for me. Maybe one quirky Australian mystery novel about a baker is my yearly quotient? I don't know, but I gave up on it about 35 pages in. ( )

***** A deliciously busy book with an eccentric cast of characters and some frightening ones as well. There are mysterious new residents in the building, problems in the chocolate shop, a missing girl, a suspected bomb, major fraud, a chess game, and death threats. All that in addition to Senior Constable Lepidoptera White, Sister Mary, The Mouse Police, a rescue right out of Sir Walter Scott, and some really dim hired goons. Then there's all the humor. Of course I loved it!
The incredible voice actress narrating this wonder is Louise Siverson! ( )

Synopsis: Although things are going quite well at the bakery, at the chocolate shop down the street someone is adding nasty flavorings to the chocolates. There are also two new residents in the apartments: one is a classy lady and the other is a mystery man. Jason is almost killed, the mystery man is threatened, and kittens are running amok.
Review: This was fun to read and the story was interesting. I need to make some muffins. ( )
