Perished by Pasta

A Simply Scrumptious Cozy Culinary Mystery Book

Cinque Terre, a quaint Italian harbour town, normally boasts of the aromas of garlic, basil, tomato sauce, and crisp sea air, not the scent of murder.

The pastel buildings and cobblestone streets are lined with Italian trattorias, including the famous La Nonna’s Nonna, named after Filomena's grandmother.

But when Pepperoni, her clue-sniffing beagle sidekick, leads to Filomena to the dead body of the notorious food critic, Alistair, the bustling restaurant halts to a standstill.

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, Filomena's 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.

Filomena needs to crack the case fast—before the meatballs hit the fan and she’s served up as the final course.

**A lighthearted cozy mystery series set in Italy with loyal beagle sidekicks, amateur sleuths, and clean culinary adventures. Perfect for fans of humorous mysteries with small-town charm! **
