About this listen
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.

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, ...

Right when I’m having my grand reopening, the town's most ruthless businessman takes a tumble down my creaky staircase. We all gather around and see a silver hair from the librarian's wig on his suit. They were screaming at each other ...
