koland · 06-12-2012, 03:02 PM

Earthly Delights ($0.99 Kindle), the first of Kerry Greenwood's Corinna Chapman Mysteries, is free from iTunes, courtesy of Poisoned Pen Press.

Book Description
Corinna Chapman was once a high profile accountant and banker. That is until she walked out on the money market and her dismissive and unpleasant husband James, threw aside her briefcase, and doffed her kitten heels forever. Now she is a baker working in her own business, Earthly Delights, in Flinders Lane, Melbourne, Australia.Corinna is living in an eccentric building on the Roman model called Insula, which has eight stories, sixteen apartments, and a lot of strange and interesting people. These include a retired professor of classics, Dionysius Monk; a Dutch gardener named Trudi; Mr. and Mrs. Pemberthy and their rotten little doggie, Traddles; a pair of disgustingly thin, would-be soapie stars Goss and Kylie; and a jobbing witch, Meroe of The Sibyls Cave.Corinna is quite content with her cat Horatio and her shop until a junkie falls half dead on her grate, a gorgeous sabra stalks along her alley and tells her that she is beautiful, and she starts receiving threatening letters accusing her of being a scarlet woman. Then it is Goths, lost girls, fraud, late nights, nerds, and beautiful slaves. Life for Corinna has suddenly become interesting. And she still needs to get her bread out in time for the morning rush…. Includes recipes. Earthly Delights is the first book in this delicious new series by the award-winning author who brought us the Phryne Fisher series.

Darn class schedule and stupid slushpile; I was going to post these earlier but ran out of time after doing the "official" stuff.

There's an unofficial tie-in deal for further books in the series @ $2.99-$4.99-$6.99 for the earlier volumes (PPP's website gives the list for what looks like all at $9.99 each).

You can find these on sale via iTunes (should probably be DRM-free, since this and PPP's other freebies are) and Amazon seems to be price-matching for some of them.

(ETA: Add proper linkage to Amazon and here's Greenwood's also-freebie for her other PPP 1st-in-series with extra discount on sequels mysteries.)

Here's Greenwood's author page @ PPP with the titles and series order numbering.
