It's that simple.

I'm also joining in Book Beginnings on Friday. It's hosted by Rose City Reader. 

This looks like a fun and delicious cozy mystery.

First Chapter

I stepped out of my Honda Accord and into a puddle on the sidewalk.  It wasn't exactly the kind of welcome I'd expected upon my return to my home town, Lake Basil, New York.  But dipping my favorite pair of suede ankle boots into a puddle of water was a perfect metaphor for how things were going at the moment.

From 56% on my e-reader...

My excitement grew.  People were coming into the restaurant! Despite the rumors.  Despite the murder and the ongoing investigation.

Synopsis from Goodreads...

In this small town, eating the last slice of pizza is murder…

After being kicked out by her cheating fiance, Gina Romano decides to return to her hometown of Lake Basil, New York. She needs a break from the city, and her uncle, Rocco, could use the help with his bustling pizza parlor.

But when Gina arrives expecting a warm, cheesy welcome, she finds the pizzeria on the brink of closure instead. Desperate to help, Gina takes over and is forced to fire the head chef who refused to do things the “authentic” way.

Until he winds up authentically dead.

Outside the pizza parlor.

With a slice of Uncle Rocco’s pizza clasped in his cold hand.

With the cops closing in, Gina has to figure out who killed the head chef and save her uncle’s pizza parlor before it’s too late.
