No one ever said inheriting Bellanoa’s kitchen in Mariner’s Reach would involve murder,
least of all Gia Bellanoa, who only hoped to restore her family’s name alongside simmering sauces, not tangled suspicions.
Seeking solace, Gia leans on her trusty pasta crank and one-eyed cat, Pesto, as rumors swirl through the seaside town’s winding lanes.
Everything changes when the sharp-tongued Renata Corso is found dead behind Arliss Books, leaving a damning document in her coat and Mariner’s Reach caught in a storm of doubt.
Just as Gia’s recipes bind flavors, unexpected allies draw near: a steady detective, a wounded cousin, a loyal best friend, and a tenacious local journalist—all hiding secrets of their own.
As red herrings multiply, Gia must balance loyalty and legacy, trusting her instincts when every clue leads closer to home. Because sometimes hope for new beginnings lies hidden within the recipe only she can follow.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
