The Deadly Chili: A Culinary Cozy Mystery

About The Deadly Chili: A Culinary Cozy Mystery

A chili cookoff, a mafia don in the countryside, and a body. Pine Grove's annual festival just got complicated. Peter finds his late father's championship chili recipe just in time for Pine Grove's great cookoff — and discovers his old pal Marconi has made himself very at home in the country. Suspiciously at home. When a fellow contestant is found dead before the winner is announced, Peter has to wonder: how far would a mafia don go to win a chili competition? And is someone else willing to get their hands dirty for the prize? Part fish-out-of-water comedy, part classic whodunit — this is cozy mystery at its most delicious.
