Meh. It was okay. I can't give it three stars for average because I'm not interested enough to finish it.

Very enjoyable and entertaining; rich and warm writing with great characters and beautifully described scenery and wonderful sounding recipes.
I'm hoping that this will be a long series, as there's so much room for more adventures.
This is definitely going to be one for fans of Alexander McCall Smith and M.C Beaton - I'll be recommending this to my customers.
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was the perfect read to follow my last book (heavy, difficult content). Andrew creates lovable characters, especially her food-loving, advice-giving, mystery-solving protagonist. A good summer read.

Very sweet and wholesome for a murder mystery! And the recipes have been recorded to give a try in the future. A slow start but by the end I was thoroughly entertained!

Tannie Maria is a South African woman who answers letters to the lovelorn, with advice and recipes. When a murder occurs, Maria and her fellow Gazette staff, Hattie and Jessie, become involved at the displeasure of the local police. A great new series if you love something different with a taste of another culture.

It unfortunately became less interesting with time and when she started using a racial slur pretty extensively I decided I was done.

Recipes for Love and Murder is perfect for February 2022's Uncorked Reading Challenge theme: books about and set in South Africa.

If you enjoy cozy mysteries with a little romance and lots of food, this one is for you. Warning: it will make you hungry.
