Television by Both Worlds Pictures Writer When a woman who wrote to her seeking advice about an abusive husband is found dead, recipe advice columnist Tannie Maria, and her colleague, rookie journalist Jessie, spring into action, determined to solve this small town Karoo murder and catch the killer. Big city cop Khaya and his team of local police officers always find themselves just slightly behind our delicious detecting duo, as the investigation takes us through an array of unlikely suspects. What secrets did Maria try to leave behind in Scotland, what did Lawrence the gardener know, and will Jessie and Maria make too many enemies, and risk the killer catching them first?

The series is based on the best selling novels by Sally Andrew.
