About this listen
The plan was to start over here with the picture-perfect Genova’s pastry elite; not to catch the culprit who iced the last chef.
When Paolo’s death goes from natural causes to murder, my trip to the beautiful Italian harbour town turns into a case of spine-chilling whodunit.
I whip up confections, not conspiracies. But my scruffy clue-sniffing beagle has different plans for us in this sun-kissed town; to remove the stench of murder.
Motives linger as the sous chef, Enzo, craves the spotlight, while Luca, the supplier, has a sour taste left behind after a heated argument. Even Giulia, the secretive shop owner, serves up suspicion on a silver platter.
As Alex, the charming detective and I team up to unravel the secrets that lie beneath the flour-dusted streets, danger meets us head on.
But just when we find the truth, the threats get closer and whispers tell me it’s not over.
I must get to the bottom of the lies before the next souffle to be cooked is mine.

Story
My summer escape to Camp Willow Creek promised campfires and marshmallows, not murder and mayhem.

Biscuit, my trusted sidekick mutt,and I sniff out clues. What we uncover is a web of secrets slicker than the murky lake bottom. The other ...
