An ax murder leaves Franki less than jazzed...
Jazz Fest is in full swing in The Big Easy, but PI Franki Amato is singing the blues. The owner of an historic Italian grocery and deli is murdered in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Axeman of New Orleans, a notorious serial killer who hasn't struck in over a century, and someone Franki knows has been arrested for the crime. Adding to her distress, Franki, her mom, and her meddling Sicilian nonna finally meet her fiancé's family, but the tone of their encounter is decidedly downbeat. And just as her personal life strikes a sour note, the killer jazzes up his techniques. The pressure is on Franki to decipher an odd assortment of clues-an old gramophone record, a stolen trumpet, and a bottle of marsala wine. If she doesn't, she could be the next one to get the ax.
Marsala Maroon is book 6 in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be read as a standalone. If you like zany characters and laugh-out-loud humor with a splash of suspense, then you'll drink up this fun series by USA Today Bestselling Author Traci Andrighetti. Cheers!
BONUS SHORT MYSTERY (hardcover edition only):
Mirto Magenta (Franki Amato Mysteries 6.5)
To escape a hellish New Orleans summer, PI Franki Amato takes a dream job in Sardinia's Gulf of Angels. Her ex-stripper landlady, who referred her for the investigation, says it's a simple case that will leave time for a seaside vacation. But when Franki arrives in Italy, her hopes of fun in the sun fade like a tan in winter. Nothing and no one are what they seem, and clues lead her to murky goings-on at the site of a submerged Roman city. Will Franki get her slice of beach heaven? Or will dark forces on the island send her to a watery inferno?
