Book Synopsis

A dead body washes up on the shore, a mysterious woman hides too many secrets, and whispers of an international criminal ring fill the night...

While would-be chef Angie Amalfi nervously awaits her engagement party with her swoon-worthy fiancé, Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith, her clueless neighbor Stan finds himself swept into a whirlwind romance with a mysterious woman. Before he knows it, his quiet life is in a complete upheaval.

As if that weren't enough, Angie's fiance and her father are forced to work together to solve a mystery on their own--one they fear Angie or her mother learning about. But then, as murders happen around the Greek Taverna where Stan met his lady-friend, and as the murders shift closer to home, Angie's got to solve a crime messier than her mother's famous spaghetti sauce-and somehow still get through her engagement party without a full-blown family meltdown. Will she save Stan's love life, her parents' marriage, maintain her sanity, and still pull off the engagement party of the year?
