Release: November 7, 2019
Series: Rita Calabrese Culinary #3
Genre: Cozy Mystery
When her twin sister asks for help drumming up interest in her newest real estate listing—a mothballed old mansion that was once a Prohibition-era speakeasy and FDR hangout—Rita readily agrees. Planning an over-the-top Jazz Age-themed soirée, she dusts off her vintage recipes for lemon cake and oysters Rockefeller, casts her son Vinnie and his best friend Rocco as the G-men who will stage a “raid,” and even enlists the culinary services of Rocco’s mom, the beautiful but troubled Fran, who has just been released from prison.
But when Vinnie and Rocco stage their “raid”, what they find in the old dairy barn behind the mansion isn’t moonshine. . .but a dead body.
The citizens of Acorn Hollow are eager to point the finger at Rocco and Fran, but Rita isn’t buying it. Like the multi-tasking mother she is, she’s determined to prove their innocence—all while mentoring a sulky teenaged intern, unmasking the identity of the newspaper’s new male advice columnist, and encouraging her daughter’s fledgling romance with a hunky teacher.
Featuring mouth-watering recipes for Italian classics, including bruschetta and tiramisu!

Sounds like a fun series
Love mysteries with Italian theme and recipes. Interested in this series. Thanks for opportunity.
Looks like a great read. And remember voting on the cover a month or so back. So looking forward to this. And those recipes! My daughter and I have been planning our meals around different ethnic groups and their customs. Italian looks like it is a good one from November. It is part of our not allowing ourselves to become narrow and biased as the current admin is encouraging all to do. We are all brothers. Period. Back in the 60’s, the high school I attended encouraged our ‘widening’ out. In both the geography and social studies classes. Respect for other cultures was encouraged. I so appreciated that. And I am so looking forward to reading the book and collecting those recipes
This book is unique, exciting and interests. The characters sound fascinating.
A mystery with Italian recipes is a winner. Love to read this exciting new series.
