Когда-то Коринна Чапмен была бухгалтером, но это скучно, а выпекать кексы - весело, поэтому она открыла пекарню в центре Мельбурна, чтобы радовать местных жителей вкусными булочками. Коринна и сама как булочка маленькая, пухленькая, круглолицая, да еще с отменным чувством юмора. Все бы хорошо, если бы не наркоманы, которых что-то очень много стало в округе. И слишком много молодых людей умирает от передозировки. Волей-неволей Коринна втягивается в расследование подозрительных смертей. В конце концов, она разоблачает преступников, а вот как именно, заранее сообщать не будем - иначе читатели не будут поглощать эту книгу так, как она заслуживает, то есть - взахлеб. В конце книги - рецепты фирменных булочек Коринны. Такие же рецепты будут и в последующих романах, ведь "Радости земные" - первая книга целой серии взаХЛЕБных кулинарных детективов.

"Инсула" - большой дом в центре Мельбурна. Здесь живут булочница Коринна Чапмен, колдунья, компьютерные умники, профессор-латинист, содержательница садо-мазохистского клуба и прочие интересные личности. Но вот в "Инсуле" появляются новые жильцы - пожилая элегантная дама и странный мужчина. За новыми жильцами идет настоящая гангстерская охота. А еще кто-то впрыскивает отвратительную начинку в конфеты, которыми торгует соседний шоколадный магазин...
"Небесные наслаждения" - вторая книга серии взаХЛЕБных детективов Керри Гринвуд.

If there's one thing that 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 very own, just-baked, freshly buttered sourdough bread to enjoy. So when a strange cult which denies the flesh and eats only famine bread turns up, along with a body which is found in a park, dead of malnutrition, Corinna is very disturbed indeed.
But she doesn't only have that to contend with: her hippie mother, Starshine, has turned up out of the blue, hysterical that Sunlight, Corinna's father, has absconded to Melbourne with all their money and a desire for a new young lover; someone is poisoning people with weight loss herbal teas; and then there are odd things happening at the nearby Cafe Vlad Tepes, which attracts a very strange clientele indeed. Altogether, it's a delicious recipe for murder, mayhem and mystery.
The third in the Corinna Chapman series, Devil's Food is another irresistible, criminally entertaining read from the master crime writer, Kerry Greenwood.

Will the opening of a hot bread shop nearby spell the end for Corinna Chapman`s Earthly Delights Bakery? Our amateur sleuth and baker extraordinaire returns in another criminally entertaining and delicious adventure from the author of the bestselling Phryne Fisher series.

Corinna Chapman, owner of the bakery Earthly delights, detests Christmas. The shoppers are frantic and the heat oppressive in Melbourne, Australia, where Christmas is summer festival. Corinna loathes the festival and the heat. She is a perfect size 20 with a genius for baking bread. And muffins . And while dreaming of air conditioned comfort she finds herself dealing with a rose-addicted donkey named Serena, a maniacal mother with staring eyes, a distracted assistant seeking for the definitive glace cherry recipe, her friend the fearless witch Meroe and the luscious Daniel with whom she would like to spend a lot more time.

But Daniel is on the track of two runaways, Brigid and Manny. This Romeo and Juliet romance is not as straightforward as it seems and the pair will go a long way to avoid being found. With the help of a troupe of free-spirited freegans, three very clever internet hackers and a bunch of singing vegans, Corinna and Daniel go head-to-head with a sinister religious cult on a mission and a band of Romanies out for revenge in a wild and wonderful chase against the (biological) clock.

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.

While 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.The 6th in the Corinna Chapman series.

Зеленоглазой аристократке Фрине Фишер, живущей в 20-е годы прошлого века, наскучила однообразная лондонская жизнь с ее бесконечными приемами и зваными ужинами. Она решила, что куда забавней будет попробовать себя в роли первой в Австралии женщины-детектива. Почти сразу же после приезда в Мельбурн Фрина попадает в водоворот приключений: отравленные жены, наркодельцы, коммунисты, подкупленные полицейские… и, конечно же, любовь!

Опасность, тайны и любовь - вот что по душе великолепной Фрине Фишер, даме-детективу из Мельбурна. Во второй книге серии мисс Фишер не только летает на самолетах, выделывая невероятные трюки, но еще спасает похищенного ребенка, успешно расследует убийство богатого владельца летной школы и ловит в свои сети очередного возлюбленного. И делает все это с той же стремительностью и сногсшибательной элегантностью, с какой водит свою красную "Испано-Сюизу".

Досточтимая Фрина Фишер планировала погостить несколько дней у своих родственников в Балларате, куда и направилась поездом вместе со своей верной служанкой и компаньонкой Дот. Но не тут-то было. Уже в пути она сталкивается с целой вереницей тайн. К счастью, расследуя дело об убийстве пожилой дамы и участвуя в поимке белых работорговцев, изящная аристократка по-прежнему находит время для любовных утех.

The devastating Phryne Fisher is under fire again in her fourth mystery. A very young man with muddied hair, a pierced ear and a blue tattoo lies cradled in Phryne's arms. But sadly, it's not another scene of glorious seduction - this time it's death. The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher, beautifully dressed in loose trousers, a cream silk shirt and a red-fox fur has just had her windscreen shot out inches in front of her divine nose. But worse is the fate of the pale young man lying on the road, his body hit by bullets, who draws his final blood-filled breath with Phryne at his side. Outraged by this brutal slaughter, Phryne promises to find out who is responsible. But Phryne doesn't yet know how deeply into the mire she'll have to go: bank robbery, tattoo parlours, pubs, spiritualist halls, and the Anarchists. Along this path, Phryne meets Peter, a battle-scarred, sexy Slav, who offers much more to her than just information. But all thoughts of these delights flee from Phryne's mind when her beloved maid, Dot, disappears. There's nothing Phryne won't do to get her back safely.

Досточтимая Фрина Фишер и не подозревала, что опасность может подстерегать ее даже в модном танцзале. Но один из танцующих падает замертво, и мисс Фишер, даме-детективу из Мельбурна, приходится начинать новое расследование. Думаете, она ограничится посещением свидетелей и родственников убитого? Дудки! Фрина не мыслит жизни без рискованных приключений. Она пролетит на самолете над горами, окажется в австралийском буше и... в объятиях отважного незнакомца.

Одно из интереснейших дел Фрайни Фишер начинается прекрасным летним днем 1928 года. На пороге появляется призрак из прошлого. Точнее – бывший любовник Фрайни. Его зовут Алан Ли, он циркач, и ему очень нужна помощь. Что-то странное и страшное происходит в его преуспевающей труппе: сначала отравили зверей, потом чуть не спровоцировали несчастный случай во время представления. А теперь один из членов труппы, мистер Кристофер, был найден заколотым в своей комнате в местном пансионе. Что еще хуже, в убийстве подозревают ни в чем не повинную бывшую циркачку… Что это – происки конкурентов? Кровавые деяния безумца? Холодный расчет преступника?…

Running late to a gala performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore, Phryne Fisher meets some thugs in dark alley and handles them convincingly before they can ruin her silver dress. She then finds that she has rescued the handsome Lin Chung, and his grandmother, who briefly mistake her for a deity.
Denying divinity but accepting cognac, she later continues safely to the theatre where her night is again interrupted by a bizarre death onstage.

What links can Phryne find between the ridiculously entertaining plot of Ruddigore, the Chinese community of Little Bourke St., or the actors treading the boards of His Majestys Theatre?

The redoubtable Phryne Fisher is holidaying at Cave House, a Gothic mansion in the heart of Australia’s Victorian mountain country. But the peaceful surroundings mask danger. Her host is receiving death threats, lethal traps are set without explanation, and the parlour maid is found strangled to death. What with the reappearance of mysterious funerary urns, a pair of young lovers, an extremely eccentric swagman, an angry outcast heir, and the luscious Lin Chung, Phryne’s attention has definitely been caught. Her search for answers takes her deep into the dungeons of the house and into the limestone Buchan caves. What will she find this time?

Super-sleuth Phryne Fisher steps, like an elegant cat, through this, her ninth adventure.In investigating the poisoning of a young man in a bookshop at the Eastern Market, and the wrongful arrest of one Miss Sylvia Lee, Phryne Fisher is plunged into a world of Jewish politics, alchemy, poison and chicken soup.Stopping only for a brief, but intensely erotic, dalliance with the beautiful Simon Abrahams Phryne picks her way through the mystery with help from the old faithfuls - Bert, Cec, Dot and Detective Inspector 'Call Me Jack' Robinson. But ultimately it is her stealth and wit which solve the crime - and all for the price of a song. . . .

Phryne Fisher is on holiday. She means to take the train to Sydney (where the harbour bridge is being built), go to a few cricket matches, dine with the Chancellor of the university, and perhaps go to the Arts Ball with that young modernist, Chas Nutall. She has the costume of a lifetime, and she's not afraid to use it. When she arrives there, however, her maid Dot finds that her extremely respectable married sister Joan has vanished, leaving her small children to the neglectful care of a resentful husband. What has become of Joan, who would never leave her babies? Surely, she hasn't run away with a lover, as gossip suggests?    Then while Phryne is visiting the university, the very pretty Joss and Clarence ask her to find out who has broken into the Dean's safe and stolen a number of things, including the Dean's wife's garnets and an irreplaceable illuminated book called the Hours of Juana the Mad. An innocent student has been blamed. So Phryne girds up her loins, loads her pearl-handled .32 Beretta, and sallies forth to find mayhem, murder, black magic, and perhaps a really good cocktail before more crime erupts in Sydney.
