Not even Mario Russo, the newest scrooge in town whose espresso bar has been quickly disrupting businesses and stealing customers from Harvest Park's favorite coffeehouse.But when Mario is discovered at the festival's opening, face down in a Santa suit, Tessa realizes the bah humbug runs deeper than she could have imagined. And when one of her dearest friends is implicated in the crime, she must make a list of Mario's enemies, check them twice, and discover the cold-blooded killer. Especially before they can sleigh again.
If you like cozy mysteries (like I do!) then definitely give this series a try -- it's fun and I like reading about all the Italian food! The murder mystery was fun, the town is a great setting and there is definitely room for more to happen. I also liked the end of this book and am excited to see where this series goes next!
The Enemy You Gnocchi comes out next week on October 26, 2021 and you can purchase HERE. You can read my review of the first book in this series HERE.
When I was a young girl, I always associated the smell of Italian food with my grandmother's house. Tomatoes and onions. Garlic and homemade bread fresh out of the oven. Brown sugar and melted butter from her mouthwatering ravioli sauce. By the time I was ten, I'd decided her kitchen must be a little bit like heaven-- warm, sweet-smelling, and full of love.
