Humor with a side of homicide.
Italian cook-offs aren’t supposed to be this deadly. Includes RECIPE!
Look, I never planned to spend my summer investigating a murder instead of judging marinara. But when a food critic drops dead at Honey Hollow’s Italian cook-off, what’s a reluctant hitwoman to do?
I’m Effie Canelli, and my to-do list just got complicated—help run our bakery, avoid a certain assignment from my Uncle Jimmy (the family’s resident crime lord), and oh yeah—figure out who committed murder before my hot detective boyfriend Cooper arrests the wrong person.
Cooper is officially investigating, but between rival chefs with deadly grudges, my meddling family turning every situation into a three-ring circus, a blackmail scheme that could destroy Uncle Jimmy’s empire, and a growing list of suspects who all wanted the victim permanently off the menu, I’m knee-deep in marinara and murder.
So grab your pasta fork and join me in Honey Hollow, where the competition is cutthroat, the family drama is even deadlier, and someone is serving up more than just Italian cuisine this summer.
Trust me—this cook-off murder spree will leave you hungry for justice!
