The Da Vinci Cook — Joanne Pence

ANGIE RAISES HOLY HELL

Just when dilettante chef Angie Amalfi's checkered culinary career seems to be looking up, she has to drop everything and hightail it to Rome. Her realtor sister Caterina's in a stew--accused of murdering a stranger she found already dead in the abandoned mansion of an absent client, famed Roman restauranteur Marcello Piccoletti. To make matters worse, a priceless religious relic is missing as well--so the Amalfi girls are joining forces in the Eternal City . . . and diving head-first into a simmering cauldron of big trouble.

Working undercover as a cook in Piccoletti's world-famous upscale eatery, Da Vinci's, Angie hopes to unravel the tangled spaghetti strands of this homicide-theft-conspiracy and clear Cat's name. But when bodies begin piling up like fresh mozzarella balls at a family picnic, it looks like next it'll be arrivederci Amalfis . . . for good!
