Miss Maple In The Making? NAH!!!!!!!!!! Just Tabitha Darling, Chef Extroidinaire!
I found the Tabitha Darling books totally by accident and I must say the best accident ever!!! The stories are based in Australia and has an eclectic cast of characters that I love. Cafe La Femme is usually full of police of all ranks, eating and keeping a watchful eye on Tabitha, so how does she manage to find herself in so many situations that she does? The books are humorous, thought provoking and just over all good reads! This reader hopes and prays that there will be a fourth book in this series!! PLEASE LIVIA DAY LET TABITHA DARLING LIVE FOR ANOTHER BOOK OR TWO, OR THREE.........................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!
