In Umbria, pasta isn't the only thing that's twisted.
When Stella traded her high-pressure career in a Michelin-starred kitchen for the tranquil hills of Umbria, she didn't expect her life to become as tangled as her signature strangozzi pasta. But when her closest friends-owners of the beloved local café-are arrested for alleged mafia ties, Stella knows something doesn't add up. Determined to clear their names, she dives into an investigation brimming with red herrings, cryptic clues, and her trusty one-eared cat at her side.
Things take a darker turn when a mysterious lunatic terrorizes the local roads, and a high-speed car chase brings chaos to her idyllic town. To make matters worse, one of Stella's bed-and-breakfast guests has vanished, leaving her to manage his eccentric wife.
With her sharp palate for details, a quirky crew of friends (think Italian Scooby Gang with better wine), and a knack for culinary improvisation, Stella stirs up trouble and justice in equal measure. Packed with mouthwatering recipes, twists, and turns, Making a Killing in Aramezzo will leave you hungry for the next bite.
Can Stella serve up the truth before it's too late? Or will her cozy Italian dream unravel like overcooked spaghetti?
As always Damiani brings Italy to life. You can smell the coffee, brush the pastry flakes from your chin, taste the pasta sauce and see the ancient stone walls. And all that in the middle of mystery, intrigue and murder. You can't ask for more. Except another one of her books!
