A small town pizzeria proprietor must once again serve up justice when her sister's fiancé is accused of murder in this culinary cozy mystery.
The only thing Eleanor Swift loves more than serving up the best pizza in Timber Ridge, North Carolina, is her sister Maddy. So when Maddy's cheating ex-husband Grant shows up with some pie-in-the-sky plan to win her back, Eleanor is happy to see Maddy show him the door. But they both know Grant isn't done yet, especially when he picks a fight with Maddy's fiancé Bob in front of the whole town.
Naturally, when Grant is later found stabbed in the heart with a barbeque skewer, the police have Bob pinned to the top of their suspect list. To top things off, it turns out that Maddy stands to gain a lot of dough from Grant's death. Now he and Eleanor need to catch the real killer before they wind up trading in slices for the slammer!
Includes a delicious pizza recipe!
"Delightful . . . as usual, Cavender does a fine job capturing the feel of a small North Carolina town and its people." —Publishers Weekly

In Cavender’s delightful sixth Pizza Lovers mystery (after 2012’s Killer Crust), the residents of Timber Ridge, N.C., including Eleanor Swift, owner of A Slice of Delight, the local pizzeria, and her sister, Maddy Spencer, have spent weeks preparing for Timber Ridge’s largest annual celebration, the Founders Day Festival. On the day of the fair, Maddy’s ex-husband, Grant Whitmore, shows up and picks a fight with Maddy’s fiancé, Bob Lemon. That evening, someone stabs Grant in the heart with a barbecue skewer, as Eleanor and Maddy later learn from police chief Kevin Hurley, who fingers Bob as the most likely murder suspect. When the sisters set out to clear Bob’s name, they discover that plenty of others had motives for the crime. Each suspect is a distinctive character, and, as usual, Cavender does a fine job capturing the feel of a small North Carolina town and its people. Agent: John Talbot, Talbot Fortune Agency.
