Tomato sauce isn't the only thing that runs red... Local chef Tessa Esposito is struggling to get back on her feet following her husband's fatal accident. And when the police knock on Tessa's door, things just get worse. They've discovered Dylan's death wasn't an accident after all, and they need Tessa to start filling in the blanks. Who would want her beloved husband dead, and why? With the investigation running cold, Tessa decides it's time to save her sanity by reconnecting with her first love-cooking. And maybe the best way back into the kitchen is to infiltrate Dylan's favorite local pizza parlor, which also happens to be the last place he was seen before he died. But the anchovies aren't the only thing that stink inside the small family business, and with suspects around every corner, Tessa finds that her husband's many secrets might land her in hot water.

One of the first swaps I ever participated in on Litsy was the 2019 #CozySwap and this was one of the books. Less than two years to read it 😂 Back then I didn't write down who my swap buddy was, so I can't remember who actually sent it!!!

Anyway, this was a fun if somewhat run-of-the-mill cozy, setting up the MC and town as the first in a series. I enjoyed but didn't love it, especially when Tessa was just doing really dumb stuff, like ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) confronting her husband's probable murderer... by herself... at night... in an isolated location... without telling anyone where she's going. 🙄 A soft pick, but it probably won't stop me from reading the next in the series haha

#WeeklyForecast - Actually finished If I Never Met You last night & started the tagged because its sequel is due back at the library this week. Unknown Threat is an ARC that needs to happen this week, and the orange book is a collection of du Maurier tales that I really want to read!! Still going a chapter-a-day with the books on the right, although I should finish all of them except Peter Pan by the end of the week!!

Oh my gosh @Come-read-with-me this is literally about five times more stuff than I was expecting to receive! Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful #CozySwap box! I definitely need to step up my swapping game! I especially love the cozy lap blanket with a book pocket!!!

Sorry this is a day late @Avanders - yesterday really got away from me!! Thank you so much for hosting!
