Eleanora Pacelli is looking forward to a two-week vacation in Florida. Eager for an escape from the cold, dreary Maine weather, she can’t wait to feel the sun on her face and sand between her toes. Nonna is going along too, but unlike Ellie, she’ll be staying there until spring is well under way.
When someone in Nonna’s retirement community is murdered, Ellie’s vacation turns from pleasant to terrifying. On the heels of the murder, another crime strikes the sleepy community, and points to Nonna’s safety being at risk. Will Ellie solve the crime in time to save her beloved grandmother?
When Cozy Mystery author, Patti Benning, isn’t busy plotting the deaths of multiple fictitious characters, she loves to spend time hiking with her rescue dog, Max, who is her bestest writing buddy.
Patti loves to cook and the food in her books has been tried and tested in her very own kitchen. She’s technologically shy, and stays away from social media a great deal, because it makes her feel more awkward and introverted than meeting someone face to face.
Writing is the perfect job for her because in her books, she gets to explore all the topics she loves, food, animals, crafts and reading. She loves her readers dearly, and is thankful for the opportunity to share with them through her work.
Trouble seems to follow Ellie and Nonna after they arrive back in Florida. So much for Ellie’s relaxing vacation. Never a dull moment in their lives. Another great cozy in the series!
Winter is here and Ellie flies back to Miami with her Nonna to help her get settled into her condo and for Ellie to enjoy a couple of weeks of vacation before heading back to Maine. I was so happy to read another book in this series. The author made me feel like I was right there for all the action, from the murder to the little surprise at the end!
This kindle e-book novella is from my Kindle Unlimited account book 29 of 48
Ellie and nana travel to Florida where nana will spend the next six months. Then a woman 🚺 is murdered by a robber. Then nana is robbed. The robber comes back when Ellie and nana are there. It all comes to a happy ending 😀.
I would recommend this series and author to 👍 readers of romantic family and friends relationships mystery novels 👍🔰 2024 👒😀💘
I love that Nonna was in this one. I enjoy her character so much. I look forward to reading the next one in the series. I actually read this one in January but realized today than my review had not posted.
15 stars!!!! Ellie always seems to attract trouble wherever she goes and whoever is with her. Her vacations are not trouble free. Russell couldn't go with her, because of all the hassle they had when he was being re-elected. So Ellie took Ann, her grandmother back to Florida and made it a vacation also. The senior community, had something happening after Ellie and Ann started to relax and see each other for dinner. When Ann called Ellie at her hotel suite about something strange happening. You have to read the details. You won't be disappointed!!!!
You never know when Ellie might walk right into the middle of murder; however, she always catches her man or woman, and always saves the day and her Nonna. The end will pull at your heartstrings as well.
Another installment of papa pacelli's pizzeria series. Ellie has gone down to Florida with her grandmother and on the first day there was a murder. A fun short read. The killer was a little easy to pick out but I love any time i can spend with these characters.
I love these books about a Grandmother and her granddaughter. So living and some mystery always around. Ellie is such a good person. And now there is another dog. I love it. Keep writing these wonderful books. And don’t forget the pizza.
