DEVIL'S FOOD

DEVIL'S FOOD is a charming surprise by the author of the Phryne Fisher historical mystery series. Corinna Chapman interrupts her baking business to help her estranged mother, Sunshine, find Sunlight, her old hippie father. Narrator Louise Siversen captures the delightful sense of community with a diverse array of characters, including nuns, monks, and street people. She also delivers Aussie and Eastern European accents. As Corinna and her sexy Israeli boyfriend, Daniel, search for her father, she shares baking secrets and unique views on morality and politics, including several hilarious anti-Bush remarks. An afterword encourages email comments and recipe exchanges. It’s all good fun for mystery buffs and bakers. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2008]
