- Book 2 of 6: Rita Calabrese Culinary Cozy Mysteries
A deliciously witty cozy mystery perfect for fans of Alexander McCall Smith, M.C. Beaton, Louise Penny—and anyone who loves food, family, and a good old-fashioned whodunit.
Welcome back to Acorn Hollow, where the pasta is homemade, the gossip is spicy, and Italian-American matriarch Rita Calabrese is cooking up more than just meals—she’s solving murders.
On the eve of her 40th wedding anniversary and Acorn Hollow’s tercentenary celebration, Rita’s peaceful life is upended by the arrival of two very different men from her past: her husband’s shady cousin from Jersey, and her high school sweetheart, Stefano, a successful and charming historian who is still bellissimo—but definitely hiding something.
When the town’s time capsule is flung open to reveal a skeleton, Rita hopes that solving this cold case will be just the diversion she needs. But if identifying the victim proves difficult, managing the men in her life becomes nearly impossible. A flirtatious ex-flame and a boorish, cigar-smoking houseguest are enough to deal with, but it's another thing entirely when her husband, normally so skeptical of Rita’s nose for crime, begins insisting his recently deceased grappa-swilling, red-meat-loving septuagenarian friends did not die of heart attacks, but were murdered…
Are Rita’s small-town connections, journalistic instincts, and killer recipes enough to crack the case before the killer strikes again?
Full of laugh-out-loud moments, heartfelt family dynamics, and mouthwatering Italian dishes, this second entry in the Rita Calabrese Culinary Mystery Series delivers a warm and satisfying mystery that will leave you hungry for more.
Includes the recipe for chocolate-dipped peanut butter biscotti!

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
