This was an extremely entertaining book by Livia Day, and is listed as the first in the 'Cafe la femme' series. In the true spirit of a culinary crime novel there are dessert recipes at the end for adventurous readers to try.
It is a cross between chicklit and murder mystery, with main character Tabitha Darling trying to run a hipster cafe in Hobart and simultaneously finding herself involved in a string of crimes across Hobart.
