National bestselling author Rosie Genova reprises her tasty Italian Kitchen Mysteries for a new audience!
New Jersey Monthly calls The Wedding Soup Murder “a tightly-plotted whodunit”
A wedding with all the trimmings—and death as an unexpected guest…
Victoria Rienzi came home to the Jersey shore to research a new book and perfect her cooking skills at her family’s seaside restaurant, the Casa Lido. But when Vic’s exacting nonna puts her in charge of catering the soup course for a wedding at the exclusive Belmont Country Club, it’s not long before trouble is simmering in the kitchen. Three temperamental chefs are butting heads, their sous chefs are throwing punches, and the formidable club president, Elizabeth Merriman, antagonizes everyone around her.
Elizabeth, aka “The Iron Lady,” has made her share of enemies, including the father of the bride, who was caught embezzling from the country club. She threatens to fire the famous pastry chef in charge of the wedding cake, who doesn’t bother to hide her hatred of Elizabeth. And who is the mystery man in dark glasses, who never leaves the older woman’s side?
Though the wedding goes off without a hitch, by the time the happy couple and their guests depart, Elizabeth Merriman is missing. When her body is found on the beach the next morning, it appears that the country club president slipped from the top of the seawall, but Vic isn’t convinced. Did The Iron Lady finally push someone too far? And did that someone push her back--into the arms of death?
[This is a new edition of a book previously published by Penguin Random House under the same title. Its contents have been slightly updated, but the story, setting, and characters remain the same.]
Editorial Reviews:
“A tightly plotted whodunit that will have readers guessing right to the end, the book blends mystery with comedy, romance, family drama, a vivid and affectionate portrayal of the Jersey shore and … oh yes, cooking.” -Helen Beglin, New Jersey Monthly
“The Wedding Soup Murder is the second in Rosie Genova’s delightful Italian KitchenMystery series. I love the characters and the atmosphere, and the plot has more twists in it than a bowl of rotini. Yummy fun!” -Susan Santangelo, Suspense Magazine
“The characters continue to grow. The friendship between Vic and Sofia is spot on. Interfering but loving family, again, right on the money… a great read.” -Sandra Murphy, Kings River Life Magazine
“I have fallen hard for the whole Rienzi family.… The way Genova weaves the mystery into the Rienzi family subplots… is seamless. Having a mystery writer as the protagonistjust blends everything together deliciously, like a masterful piece of Italian lasagna, with plenty of layers. This breathes life into the characters and makes them jump off the pages.”-Lori Caswell, Escape with Dollycas
