Not Just Desserts, the deli/catering business owned by Olivia Beauman, is under threat. Though many people hate Harry Oldritch, it is his wife Queenie and his mistress Bettina who die when old-fashioned pesticide is placed in meals Olivia has prepared. Grevillea may seem an idyllic village on the south coast of Australia. But when Detective Richard Brumby is brought in to solve these murders, he discovers that no place is safe from secret and intrigue.
