Tannie Maria, our crime-fighting, food-loving heroine, returns to solve another delicious caper: the mystery of her own romantic future
Tannie Maria--recipe writer turned crime fighter--barely has time to return to her cooking and advice column for the local Gazette when she finds herself embroiled in another whodunnit--Slimkat the Bushman’s life is being threatened, and Tannie Maria is determined to find out who wants to kill him. The nature reserve beside the Kuruman River has been awarded as ancestral land to the Bushmen, also known as the San people, and a host of greedy parties, like diamond miners and cattle companies, are willing to do whatever it takes to keep them from claiming it.
Add to the mix that Tannie Maria is also trying to overcome her own hangups in love with her boyfriend, the rugged detective Lieutenant Henk Kannymeyer, and--for the first time in her life--to go on a diet, there is no shortage of conundrums personal and professional for an amateur sleuth to confront in this delightful, warm-hearted sequel to Sally Andrew’s Recipes for Love and Murder, one of O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE’s Books To Start 2016 Right.”
Blending a madcap mystery with lovable characters, in the beautiful setting of South Africa’s rural Klein Karoo, Sally Andrew really does have the perfect recipe for a crime series.

I love Tannie Maria mysteries.
They make me want to cook, bake, eat, try South African food, all those recipes mentioned...
And she talks so beautifully about love... the love stories in these books... sigh
Also, they are very good detective novels :-D
Less PTSD and sex and more sleuthing, over 60% in and it starts to sleuth some more but a little late.
Feels like the friends to the MC are not really in this. It feels flat and meh.
I still like the nature and animals being a part of the book and I feel the place standing out because of it, I do like that.
