⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A CAFÉ IN TUSCANY: BISCOTTI BETRAYAL (BOOK #1) is the first book in a new cozy mystery series by Fiona Grace, #1 bestselling author of Murder in the Manor, which has over 10,000 five star reviews!
When Francesca Romano’s New Jersey cookie shop crumbles, she moves to Tuscany to start over, reconnecting with her Italian grandmother to perfect her skills. Frannie is expecting flour-dusted aprons and family secrets—not a murder.
And not a mystery that has the whole village pointing fingers straight at her.
Frannie Romano didn't come to Tuscany to solve murders — she came to bake. But when the village wine festival's notoriously sharp-tongued judge dies right after tasting her biscotti, suddenly everyone's favorite transplant is the prime suspect. To clear her name, Frannie will have to dig deeper than any recipe she's ever attempted.
Welcome to A Café In Tuscany—a little bakery in the Italian hills where the cookies are divine, the locals are delightfully complicated, and the murders are entirely unexpected. Funny, charming, and impossible to put down, Francesca Romano is the kind of heroine you'll want in your corner — whether she's perfecting her nonna's secret recipes or outwitting a killer.
Future books in the series are also available!
