When a friend is accused of murder, a pizza chef and her saucy sister cook up their own investigation in this small town Southern mystery.

As the owner of the best pizzeria in Timber Ridge, North Carolina, Eleanor Swift knows a thing or two about guilty pleasures. But she's about to get a lesson in plain old guilt when she discovers a dead body in her kitchen. She knows her deliveryman Greg Hatcher would never have killed his brother Wade. But all the ingredients are there to make him suspect number one.

Not only was Wade was greedily claiming more than his fair share of the family inheritance, he was also caught making out with Gregg's ex-girlfriend. And to top it all off, Greg has suddenly gone missing. But while the case seems open and shut, Eleanor knows that Wade had plenty of unsavory enemies in his past. Now she and her sister Maddy are out to clear Gregg's name before his final stop is the state penitentiary.

Includes a delicious pizza recipe!

      The pseudonymous Cavender (Tim Myers) offers few surprises in his talky second mystery starring Timber Ridge, N.C., pizzeria owner Eleanor Swift (after 2009's A Slice of Murder). When someone bashes in the head of Wade Hatcher, the brother of Eleanor's best delivery guy, Greg Hatcher, with Eleanor's maple rolling pin in her pizzeria kitchen, it appears at first that Greg killed Wade, who was contesting their grandparents' will. Eleanor and her sister, Maddy, join forces to investigate after the local police chief, Kevin Hurley, who always knows how to ruffle Eleanor's feathers, doesn't do much. As the sisters pursue some sticky but somewhat predictable clues, their suspect list grows. Could the killer have been Greg's estranged girlfriend, Katy Johnson; ill-tempered Sandi Meadows, who was dating Wade; or Roger Henderson, Wade's boss, who claims Wade was stealing from his customers? Some readers might wish that Cavender had added a little more spice to his comfortable recipe of food, mystery, and smalltown vibes.
