My wife & I are hooked on murder mystery shows especially those based in Great Britain & the British Commonwealth. There are many that are so good and you hate it when the series ends. That's how we feel about 'Recipes for Love and Murder.' We are ready for much more. The characters are realistic with varying personalities & their own personal issues. But they meld so well. The mixes of humor, drama, mystery, and romance is perfect. Some of the humor is subtle and makes me laugh even more. Then there are the recipes & advice. Those elements set this apart from other mystery shows. We get hungry with every episode! We love the way Maria mixes the two to give the perfect blend for solving the solution to people's problems & sometimes assist with the mystery at hand! Not only are we ready for more of the series we're looking for the cooking book (wishing & hoping one might actuallybe published)!
