Reseñas editoriales
Baker extraordinaire and proprietor of the Earthy Delights Bakery, Corinna Chapman is a firm proponent of eating well, so it's no surprise that she is perturbed, to say the least, by her two assistants' extreme herbal tea diet and the appearance of a strange cult that considers eating a sinful indulgence. Things become even more complicated when someone is found in the park almost dead from malnutrition and her hippie mother turns up in a panic, claiming that Corinna's father has disappeared. Narrator Louise Siversen's performance is as rich and satisfying as Corinna's cakes, and she gives the amateur sleuth a voice full of character and intelligence. Listeners will find themselves relishing the pleasures of this delicious mystery.

Corinna's love life, business, and friendships are going well. On the other hand her looney parents, a new religious cult, and a dangerous herbal concoction are driving her to the edge of her wits! This book is truly a wild ride! Loved it!
Narrator Louise Siverson is absolutely fantastic!
Fascinating read!

I love the narrator except when she does Daniel's voice. I almost need to keep adjusting the volume to hear his words, which is annoying because I listen to the books at night when I'm going to bed.
Another solid entry in the Corinna Chapman series

Jason, her young apprentice, had entered into a deal to produce "famine bread" for a group of monks who had established themselves in a property in Melbourne. Given that their only complaint had been that she had made the bread taste too good, it seems they were seriously into mortifying the flesh. And speaking of mortifying-- her unwashed, unpleasant and hysterical mother shows up at the bakery to demand Corinna's help in finding Corinna's father, who had taken off on a mid-life crisis to find "young flesh". Finally, it appears that her two young shop assistants hae fallen victim to a dangerous diet aid.
There's other mysteries that Corinna must solve which introduces the reader to some other venues (including one that is distinctly sad), as she searches for her father.
This one is also narrated by the inestimable Louise Siverson in her warm, kind tones.
I'm going to take a break in the series here, but I'm sure I will be back to finish the rest. The second book in the series was Heavenly Pleasures: A Corinna Chapman Mystery. The next is Trick or Treat: A Corinna Chapman Mystery.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I have just listened to ALL of the Phryne Fisher mysteries and absolutely loved them, so they were a hard act to followI did get frustrated with the amount of detail given of preparing and consuming food. It seemed to be over the top, much more than was necessary to set the scene and distracts from the understanding of the story.
Would you be willing to try another book from Kerry Greenwood? Why or why not?
Not up to Phryne Fisher standard. I loved the Phryne Fisher books. I just listened to 18 of them while commuting to work. I wanted more Phryne Fisher and the Corinna Chapman series was a disappointmentDid the narration match the pace of the story?
Again it is hard to go past the narrator of the Phryne books, Stephanie Daniels is perfect.I understand that this needs to be different as it is a very different character but the voice acting is not up to parr either.
This narrator has a good voice for the main character but most of her other character voices are annoying. As first person Corrina she sound strong and capable with a fairly deep female voice so when she does the male voice she can't go lower so she makes it breathy, so they sound like stoners. And I am annoyed enough by vapid female voices but these ones even have lisps, which is too much.
Was Devil's Food worth the listening time?
I still enjoyed the book, it was still an interesting story and it was a hard act to followCould have been better
