Welcome to Teaser Tuesday hosted by Ambrosia @ The Purple Booker.
My Teaser for this week is from
Murder And Marinara
An Italian Kitchen Mystery
by Rosie Genova
Genre: Cozy Mystery
My teaser from page 65 in the paperback.
“Your grandmother wants you to figure out who killed Parisi.”
I plopped down in a nearby chair and shook my head. “Are there no secrets in this godforsaken town? Have you been in touch with my brother? And who said anyone killed him?”
“No, yes, and everyone.”

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
Hit whodunit writer Victoria Rienzi is getting back to her roots by working at her family’s Italian restaurant. But now in between plating pasta and pouring vino, she’ll have to find the secret ingredient in a murder….
When Victoria takes a break from penning her popular mystery series and moves back to the Jersey shore, she imagines sun, sand, and scents of fresh basil and simmering marinara sauce at the family restaurant, the Casa Lido. But her nonna’s recipes aren’t the only things getting stirred up in this Italian kitchen.
Their small town is up in arms over plans to film a new reality TV show, and when Victoria serves the show’s pushy producer his last meal, the Casa Lido staff finds itself embroiled in a murder investigation. Victoria wants to find the real killer, but there are as many suspects as tomatoes in her nonna’s garden. Now she’ll have to heat up her sleuthing skills quickly…before someone else gets a plateful of murder.

Hey, it’s a small town. Of course everyone knows everything about everyone. Or so they think.
Great teaser.
And I live in a small town! I hope they don’t know everything about me. LOL
I love a good cozy, especially when food and murder are part of the story. I also love that cover! Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “LIE WITH ME”
I’m a cozy addict. And I love when there are recipes included:)
I love books that take place in small towns where everyone knows everyone’s business
sherry @ fundinmental .
Reminds you of where we grew up, doesn’t it:)
seriously.. I should start reading Cozies JUST because of all the food 😉
And they are usually about small towns! which I love too!
Food, critters, small towns, murder. What’s not to love. LOL
I love cozies too! Especially ones with humor. Thanks for sharing!
Here’s my Teaser Tuesday from The Pact by S.E. Lynes
I love the humor and snark. I’m sure I snicker a lot while reading them. Probably get strange looks. LOL
Sounds like a good one.
Yes it does, Stormi. A new cozy series!
Sounds like a delicious cozy. Love that it seems to have humor to it.
The cover makes me hungry. Now I want to go out to eat. LOL
I had forgotten about this one but I have a copy sitting on my shelf! Thanks for the reminder! Now I can’t wait to read it.
I have a few other books to finish and then I’ll be starting on this one.
Oh, this one looks great fun, Laura. I may need a nice cosy murder after reading all those very depressing facts about what happens when you don’t get enough sleep…
I hear ya. That book about sleep deprivation sounds fascinating, Sarah. And kind of scary. Lack of sleep has been featured on the news a lot recently too. I know I don’t get near what I should.
I loved this book!
I’m thrilled that you did, Yvonne. I can’t wait to read it!
Sounds like a great read.
And I’m excited to see how it all plays out. Cozies are crazy fun.
Sounds like a good cozy! Reminds me very much like one in Ellie Alexander’s Bakeshop Mystery series.
It does. And I enjoyed some books in the Bakeshop series!
This one looks great, and with a lot of Italian-style stuff, for what I can tell. Thanks for sharing this 🙂
I always wanted my dining area to look like I was in an Italian restaurant. LOL
