Devil's Food by Kerry Greenwood
3.0
The devil is alive & well in this story. It begins with Earthly Delights gaining a new client - a semi religious cult focused on mortifying the flesh & holding diet seminars - hires her to make 'famine bread', a bread that is only edible by people who are mortifying the flesh & feel that while they *have* to eat, the food should be as unsatisfying as possible.
Then her mother shows up with news that her father came to the city a few weeks back and hasn't been heard from since and what does Corinna intend to do about it? Corinna doesn't get along with her parents so fortunately a new neighbor in Insula is an old friend of Mom's and takes her in while Corinna & Daniel begin searching.
Meanwhile, her fat phobic teenage counter girls, Goss & Kylie, end up getting very sick from some mysterious 'diet tea' they bought from a guy in a club. Corinna & Daniel add this to the list of investigations.
Then, Daniel is hired to look into a small smuggling operation. With so much on their plates can they solve everything?
