THE MILK TART MURDERS
Beloved foodie crime writer Tannie Maria is back! A huge fan favourite whose delectable mystery series continues to win hearts...
Tannie Maria #1 RECIPES FOR LOVE & MURDER was a Kirkus Best Book of 2015; a Wall Street Journal Best Mystery Book 2015; The Bookseller Fiction Editor's Choice 2015; Good Housekeeping Book of the Month 2015; Oprah's Bookclub 16 Books for 2016' and was longlisted Sunday Times Fiction Prize 2016.
It's springtime and the birds are nesting, but that doesn't mean that South Africa's favourite agony aunt and
sometime amateur sleuth can put her feet up. The owner of an antiques and junkshop business, Frik Du Toit, dies suddenly in Ladismith's cinema, while the rest of the town is watching a Marilyn Monroe movie. Tannie Maria once again finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation.
It seems like an impossible job to narrow down the growing list of suspects, especially as Maria contends with her work at the local newspaper and helps to catalogue Frik's belongings all the while nursing a broken heart, since she is newly-estranged from her policeman sweetheart Detective Henk Kannemeyer. The investigation becomes even more urgent when Frik's nephew and heir, Tom, is found dead. As Maria grapples with her complex feelings for Henk and her increasing reliance on food for comfort she and her feisty reporter colleague Jessie also amp up their investigation in search of justice. But little do the women
know they're about to find themselves in danger too
RECIPES FOR LOVE AND MURDER premieres on M-Net (DStv 101) in March 2022 in South Africa. Acorn TV will then bring the show to the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Further territory information will be announced in due course.
