About this listen

Meet Tannie Maria: a woman who likes to cook a lot and write a little.

One Sunday morning, as Maria savours the breeze through the kitchen window whilst making apricot jam, she hears the screech and bump that announces the arrival of her good friend and editor, Harriet. What Maria doesn't realise is that Harriet is about to deliver the first ingredient in two new recipes (recipes for love and murder) and a whole basketful of challenges.

Loved the story, and you truly immersed into a culture and life in the Klein Karoo. The recipes end advice are enticing

I’ve discovered this quite late but hopefully in time for another instalment?! Definitely need more of this well written, gripping, mouth watering, entertainment… rounded off nicely with the perfect narration.

Being South African and living abroad, this book warmed my heart and made me smile. Absolutely love that the recipes are included, and I’ll definitely try some. The story was great! Lots of red herrings that kept me guessing, and I loved the unlikely friendship between Dirk and Anna. If only SA still had a postal service so this could still be possible

Having watched the tv series on U, I was keen to listen to the book and really enjoyed the audio version which was brilliantly narrated.

The book is a cosy(ish) murder mystery, interspersed with recipes and a fantastic setting in the Klein Karoo in South Africa.

Lots of books are set somewhere I haven’t seen/been but this book really does have a wonderful sense of place and a cast of characters that are interesting and unfamiliar.

My only gripe with the audiobook version is that I think it should come with a PDF of the recipes.

Great narration but needs a pdf of recipes
