Perished by Pasta: A Simply Scrumptious Cozy Culinary Mystery Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798343451214)

Cinque Terre, a quant Italian harbour town, normally boasts of the aromas of garlic, basil, tomato sauce and crisp sea air, not the smell of murder.

The pastel buildings and cobblestone streets are lined with Italian trattorias including my famous La Nonna's Nonna, named after my grandmother.

But when Pepperoni, my clue sniffing beagle, leads me to the dead body of the notorious food critic, Alistair, the normally bustling restaurant halts to a stand still.

Marco, the charming wine bar owner, offers his help digging through the endless suspects and rumors.

As investigations into the many enemies of Alistair continue, my own danger rises with each new lead.

A trap is set at the annual Harbour Festival to expose the culprit; but when historical town secrets are discovered, the crooked past of the town's elite unravel.

I must solve the mystery and save the reputation of our tourist town before my involvement is discovered and my fate is sealed by their deadly threats.
