Corinna Chapman series, 3

If there's one thing Corinna Chapman, baker extraordinaire and proprietor of the Earthly Delights Bakery, can't abide, it's people not eating well particularly when there are delights like her just-baked, freshly buttered sourdough bread to enjoy. So when a strange cult that denies the flesh and eats only famine bread turns up and a malnourished corpse is found in a park, Corinna is very disturbed indeed. But she has still more on her plate. Her hippie mother, Starshine, has turned up out of the blue, hysterical that Sunlight, Corinna's father, has absconed to Melbourne with all their money and a desire for a new young lover. Meanwhile, someone is also poisoning people with weight loss herbal teas. And odd things are happening at the nearby Café Vlad Tepes, which attracts a very strange clientele
