Papa Pacelli's Pizzeria #17
Breakfast Pizza Murder
Start your day with pizza and mystery!
After months of stressful planning, it’s finally time for Eleanora Pacelli to open her new restaurant. Leaving Maine behind, she and her friends fly to Florida for the grand opening of her second Papa Pacelli’s Pizzeria location. At first an overwhelming success, her new restaurant is soon crippled by disaster when a customer is found dead.
Ellie can only hope that the murderer isn’t one of her new employees, as she struggles to solve the crime before the pizzeria’s reputation is wrecked. While she races against the clock to find a killer, she also has to come to terms with a permanent change in her personal life when she says a tearful goodbye to a member of her own family.

The Papa Pacelli's Pizza branch in Florida is finally ready to open and Ellie, Russell, and her employees are flying out for the opening. This is a bittersweet moment for Ellie as her Nonna is also moving there for six months of the year. No more cold weather for her. This is a wonderful story with another murder to solve, but at least it is in warm weather! I can't wait for more books in the series.

The second Pappa Pacelli Pizza shop is scheduled to open so Ellie, her fiancé, her grandma, and three of her employees fly to Florida for the Grand Opening. Nonna Pacelli will stay in Florida for six months but everyone else will be leaving in a few days. That’s the plan until a man dies at the pizza shop and the police close them down and Ellie stays to reopen and solve a murder.
This series always leaves me wanting more. This book especially since I didn’t get to visit Kittiport Maine,

New Pizzeria Opening
Last time Ellie and Nonna went to Florida they ran into some trouble. Now she's going back for the big grand opening of her new pizzeria. Will this trip turn out better than the last one? Excellent read as always by an amazing author.

Another winner! As Ellie and the gang are in Florida someone is murdered on opening day in the store. Is it one of the employees or someone else. Ellie is set on figuring out who did it so the shop can re-open before she must go back to Maine.

Ellie can hardly believe it is finally time to open the new restaurant. It has taken months to get to this place and the grand opening is just about here. The pizzeria crew, Nonna and her fiance Russell join Ellie for her trip to Florida. The restaurant opening is a smashing success until a customer is found dead. It is quickly discovered to be murder and Ellie fears one of her new employees may be involved. She must help solve the murder to prevent the ruin of the new pizzeria and her reputation. Amid the chaos, Nonna is moving into her new winter home. Ellie is struggling with the new living arrangements despite her grandmother’s apparent excitement.
This series is very well written and filled with great characters. If you read from the beginning you develop an emotional attachment to many of the regulars. While the plot of the books always moves along at a steady pace there are very interesting subplots that I want to move a bit faster, such as the engagement of Ellie and Russell. I can’t wait to read the next book.
