Papa Pacelli's Pizzeria #16
Parmesan Pizza Murder
Eleanora Pacelli is doing her best to keep up with the whirlwind that is her life. Juggling a fiancé, a full-time job, and the looming opening of a second restaurant isn’t easy, and she just has to keep reminding herself that things will calm down – eventually.
The frantic pace of Ellie’s life is brought crashing to a halt when someone she knew personally is found dead in what first looks to be an accident, but swiftly reveals itself to be something more. Ellie, along with the entire Papa Pacelli’s crew, is shocked at the loss of one of their own, and she will rest at nothing to track down the person responsible and make sure they answer for the murder that they committed.

Ellie is overwhelmed with life. She tries to spend time with her fiance, working at the pizzeria, and preparing to open her new restaurant.She tries to tell herself that things will calm down soon, but not in the immediate future.
When someone close to Ellie is found dead from what appears to be a horrible accident time seems to stop. Quickly, the death investigation turns to murder. Ellie and her staff are finding it difficult to deal with the loss of friend. Finding the perpetrator becomes Ellie’s goal.
This series continues to entertain. The characters are interesting and realistic. Ellie has a limited circle of friends and family which for many is relatable. The setting is an inviting small town and focuses on the comfort of Nonna’s home and the pizzeria. The relationships amid the characters are also realistic. I have enjoyed this series from book one and recommend reading it from the beginni

Pizza delivery people double check weird orders!!!!!!
I enjoyed this book, but Ellis was a little slow figuring out some of the dots to connect to get the main person.
Maybe she had way too much to juggle at the same time. What with the new pizzeria opening, the one she is in, maybe hiring a new person, a new person wanting an interview, then figuring out a murder and trying to find time to spend with Russell.
I got tired reading it. But that's Ellie's life until she gets that new pizzeria open.
You will enjoy this book, I can't wait for the wedding.

As Ellie is trying to keep it together by opening the new store long distance, keep her store running and plan a wedding she gets a phone call that turns everything upside down. Ellie needs Russell to figure out who killed her employee and bring them to justice.
I love this series! Patti Benning always surprises me in each book. I think I know the killer and boom she sneaks in and surprises me.

This is Book 16 in the Papa Pacelli's Pizzeria Series, and I am certainly glad I got in on the ground floor! While still working at the original Papa Pacelli's, Ellie has been busily working on getting the second Papa Pacelli's restaurant up and running in Florida and making plans for her and her original staff to make the trip for the grand opening. As if that isn't enough, someone she personally knows is murdered. So much to do and so little time. This is an excellent book and series.

Then she gets a phone call at work telling her that her delivery person has been killed while on a delivery. The murder seems to be a total mystery and the sheriff is stumped . Then it resolves with a surprise ending.

Death close to home
Ellie is trying to get her second pizzeria opened from a distance and isn't prepared when someone close to her is killed. Can she handle all this stress while dealing with a death so close to her?

Good read
Patti Benning has written another well thought out plot in this new installment. The mystery of who had killed one of her employees was hard on Ellie. The ending came as a complete surprise.

It was good.
To be honest I was disappointed in this book. It was a bit of a hurried mess. I felt as if the book was rushed at the end. I usually love the Papa Pacelli books. This was not the best.

Absolutely fantastic!! What a great book!! It's my favorite of the series so far. There are a couple of twists that you won't see coming. Patti Benning has done a marvelous job!!

Interesting twist
WOW not only was I surprised by who was murdered I just didn't see it coming when the killer was revealed. I totally thought it was someone else.

Pizza and murder
Who needs enemies when you have friends that kill. Didn't even see this one coming. Cannot wait to see what is in store for Ellie and both pizzerias.

I know these are quick reads, but this one didn't live up to what I found in previous books in the series. So many mistakes, too. Not sure I'll move onto the next one.

Too many errors! I don't understanding how or why there are still so many errors. This book was written at least 4 years ago so why hasn't there been complaints in all that time?

I guessed the wrong murderer again….Patti’s good…
