Penne Dreadful

Italian Chef book #1

Tomato sauce isn't the only thing that runs red...

​

Chef Tessa Esposito is struggling to get back on her feet following the passing of her husband, Dylan. But when the police knock on Tessa's door and say they don't think his fatal car crash was an accident after all, Tessa suddenly finds herself embroiled in a murder investigation. Who would want her beloved husband dead, and why?

​

With the police looking in all the wrong places, Tessa takes matters into her own hands. She goes undercover, taking a position in a local pizza parlor that her husband frequented to try to discover the truth about what happened to him. However the more she digs, the more it becomes clear that the anchovies aren't the only things that stink inside the small family business. And with suspects around every corner, Tessa finds that her husband had more secrets than she knew about. Can she find his killer before she lands herself in some serious hot water?
