Family Ties, Missing Organs, & Champagne

Award-winning author Cheryl Denise Bannerman delivers another helping of tasty Italian dishes (with the recipes ), adorable cats, and a side of murder.

In book three of this cozy culinary series, mystery author and part-time meddler, Anna Romano, opens her home to her detective boyfriend's troubled brother, Scott. But the happy family reunion was over before it began when a body is found in her home, and Scott subsequently disappears.

Was Scott somehow involved in the murder? While her boyfriend, John, and his partner investigate, Anna is mysteriously snatched. No one knows how or why Anna is kidnapped, except that it must have something to do with Scott.

Will the detectives reach Anna in time or will John's brother have to make the ultimate sacrifice to save her?
