MURDER & MACARONI

A hostile takeover. A corporate murder. A recipe for ruin.



Isabella "Bella" Rossi is fighting the battle of her life. The ruthless Gruppo d'Oro Culinary Conglomerate has purchased the neighboring estate and is determined to bulldoze Bella's historic curing caves to build a massive, soulless pasta factory. But the corporate warfare turns lethal when the conglomerate's cutthroat lead attorney is found dead inside Bella's caves... bludgeoned and strangled with a vintage brass pasta extruder.



When an arrogant regional inspector arrives from Florence and immediately targets Bella as the prime suspect, Maresciallo Matteo De Luca steps in-only to have his badge suspended for a conflict of interest. Forced completely off the books, Bella and Matteo must launch a rogue investigation to clear her name and save her ancestral home from the wrecking ball.



From sterile corporate testing kitchens to a fiercely competitive regional pasta championship, they uncover a deadly web of multi-million-euro embezzlement, falsified blueprints, and culinary sabotage. With the clock ticking down to demolition and a ruthless corporate Vice President pulling the strings, Bella must prove that a Tuscan grandmother's kitchen is deadlier than any boardroom.



"Murder & Macaroni" is the thrilling eighth installment in The Tuscan Vineyard Mysteries. Packed with corporate espionage, high-stakes culinary competitions, and rustic Italian charm, this cozy mystery proves that the truth can't be mass-produced.
