Another fairly light and fluffy mystery by Kerry Greenwood, starring her baker/detective, Corinna Chapman. You wouldn't read these books for the mystery, though - this novel had several little mysteries scattered through the text, and none of the characters devote their whole attention to them. There are far more important things to do, like baking divine date muffins, challah bread, and having a dinner made entirely of hors d'oeuvres.
The incredibly lucscious descriptions of cooking and baking are why I read these books - the writing is fun, and the food descriptions are so wonderful they make me want to leap into the kitchen and start baking bread. Or maybe chuck it all in and become a baker. It gets 3 out of 5, mostly for the food descriptions.
