Million Dollar Spaghetti Slasher

When Sweetie Chapman walks into a prison with a bubbling dish of her famous million-dollar spaghetti, killers talk. But this time, the truth cuts closer to home than anyone ever imagined.

Cliffton Mathieson—known as The Syracuse Strangler—has confessed to every murder but one. The missing woman, Claire Danner, vanished fifteen years ago, and the town has lived with that shadow ever since. With his execution just 48 hours away, Sweetie is brought in for one last meal… and one last chance at the truth.

But when Cliffton’s mother, Alice, starts to crack under the weight of secrets she’s buried as carefully as the body in her garden, Sweetie uncovers a truth far more twisted than anyone dared suspect.

Love. Lies. A town that’s been quiet for too long.

In Pine Bluff, even a warm casserole can’t keep the past buried. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with a sharp edge.
