Sex Cake

Tannie Maria and Jessie continue to look into the investigation, still unsure who murdered Martine. Tannie's attention is taken by a letter from a farmer, who's madly in love.

I thought this was bags of fun, I enjoyed the first episode, but this second was a step up, maybe now I know the formula, and what to expect, it just worked.

I can't decide if the husband committed the murder or not, it seems likely, but if the story is going to carry on throughout the series, there has to be more to it.

Several amusing scenes, the shoot out was a laugh out loud moment.. Tannie's boss lusting after The Detective was also very funny.

Why does Jessie have to be so unpleasant, that scene where she berated her hard working mother, hopefully she'll grow up soon.

I'd love to know what Tannie Maria is hiding, what happened to her back in Scotland? Is it me, or is a Scottish accent coming through every now and then, intentionally so.

That cake looked amazing, but if they keep eating those, there'll be a few more deaths.

8/10.

Recipes for Love and Murder is certainly an odd series and I'm not sure if I am meant to be the primary audience.

With Martine Burger dead. Anna under arrest. Maria Purvis/Tannie Maria (Maria Doyle Kennedy) teams up with Jessie to investigate the death.

They don't seem to be convinced that if Dirk, Martine's husband could be the killer.

Chief police detective Khaya Meyer, is not keen on Maria poking her nose about in the police investigation.

With all this going on, Tannie gets a letter from a farmer in love.

I just found the juxtaposition of the scenes with the murder mystery and romantic farmer a bit odd.

I also think the central murder mystery might drag unless there is more to the central arc. The second episode was not too promising in that regard.
