Summary

Corinna Chapman, talented baker and reluctant investigator, is trying very hard to do nothing at all on her holidays. Her gorgeous Daniel is only intermittently at her side (he's roaming the streets tracking down a multi-thousand-dollar corporate theft). Jason, her baking offsider, has gone off to learn how to surf. And Kylie and Goss are fulfilling their lives' ambition auditioning for a soapie. It should be a time of quiet reflection for Corinna, but quiet reflection doesn't seem to suit her - she's bored. Scenting a whiff of danger, Corinna accepts an offer from a caterer friend to do the baking for the film set of a new soap called Kiss the Bride - the soapie in which Kylie and Goss have parts. Twists and turns and complications that could only happen to Corinna ensue, involving, bizarrely, nursery rhymes and a tiger called Tabitha.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, a young woman is being unmercifully bullied by her corporate employers - employers who spend a lot of time cooking the books.

Critic reviews

"To the usual delightfully quirky characters, lovingly detailed descriptions of food and surprising mystery, Greenwood adds several appended medieval recipes." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"As with all of Greenwood’s work, there is a very satisfactory final answer to the problem and it’s not the obvious one. This is well structured crime fiction with an idiosyncratic bent. While the bad guys never win, and justice is definitely served, it happens in such a fundamentally fitting manner that the reader is always left wanting more." ( Australian Women Online)

It just gets better

What made the experience of listening to Cooking the Books the most enjoyable?

Everything but especially the food. You can put on kilo's just by listening!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cooking the Books?

All moments can be memorable in the way the plots are intertwined

Which character – as performed by Louise Siversen – was your favourite?

All good, in their own way but I do like Corinna

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

SPOILER!!
The revelation that Goss & Kylie had informed Jason of some information - knowing what was ultimately to come next!

Any additional comments?

I reviewed Earthly Delights, the first Corinna Book and finished by saying that the male voice characterisation was weak. Well, 5 books down the line I would not change a thing. Keep up the good work Louise.

easy listening

I've listened to most of the Corina books and they are easy listening. The plots are lightweight but ok. The narrator reads well enough but I don't get the necessity for the 'secret agent' type of accent she uses for Daniel.
