Maria Doyle Kennedy (Kin, Orphan Black) returns for the second series of Recipes for Love and Murder. After the terrible events in the Swartberg Pass, and Maria’s past turning up from Scotland, she’s thoroughly rattled. Her sister-in-law Aileen has a legal claim to at least half of her land, and with Aileen’s husband, retired Detective McClintock, determined to prove Maria murdered ex-husband Mickey, she might lose ownership of her childhood home entirely. Can she prove her innocence? Or is it all a ‘recipe’ for disaster?
