Papa Pacelli's Pizzeria #33
A Melted Morsel of Murder
There’s no place like home…
Ellie Ward’s sweet Nonna is moving home again, but first, her tenants have to vacate the premises.
When doing the final walk-through to make certain that the house is ready, and that the cleaning team did a thorough job, Ellie makes a gruesome discovery…a body!
When the police fail to confirm the identity of the victim and all of their suspects have alibies, Ellie realizes that something very unusual is going on, and puts her amateur sleuth cap firmly in place.
In her quest for the truth, the talented pizza maker uncovers a long criminal history, and a person who will do anything to keep their secrets buried.
Will she survive long enough to roll out the daily special?

I just love this series. A fun loving cozy mystery. Fast paced and keeps you wondering what will happen next.
Oh and the description on the back of the book is for the next book A Saucy Taste of Murder.

Patti Benning has another winner on her hands with this book. I have to admit I was very surprised at the ending. I couldn’t put this book down.

Thirty three books into this series and I still love it. The characters are great and I love Ellie and Russel though I miss having Nana in this one. The story line was really good and I would love to go and have a slice at Papa Pacelli's.

Another great story by Patti Benning. I love this series. Ellie is getting ready for Nonna to come back but things don't go as planned and she needs to set things straight before she comes home.

Too many trash bags
Good story. Enough people involved to keep you wondering about who killed poor Jason. And why was really different. You just have to read this one to figure it out.

Love
These are the best quick reads ever. Ellie stumbles upon a body in her grandmother house and suspects are quite a few.

Just when I’m sure this series can’t get better a new book comes out. Ellie is busy finding bodies and helping solve the murder. A true who done it with the outcome a surprise!

Very enjoyable
I had two suspects in mind for this one but one if them was ruled out pretty quickly. It really wouldn't have surprised me if the other person I thought was the killer had actually done it but I was wrong. Looking forward to the next book.
