Papa Pacelli's Pizzeria #41
Oregano Meatball Murder
Keep on trucking takes on a whole new meaning…
When there’s a body in the truck.
Pizzeria owner and amateur sleuth, Eleanora Ward, has had more than enough of the grey skies and frigid temperatures of winter. Her small town of Kittiport, Maine, has been buried in blankets of snow for far too long, and Ellie is on a restless hunt for something to do, that will take her mind off of the cold.
Ellie gets more than she bargained for, when she inexplicably finds a body in her husband, Russell’s truck one icy morning. Swept up in the midst of a confusing and confounding murder case, she finds more questions than answers, but refuses to give up. With Russell’s job on the line, the clock is ticking, and Ellie knows that she has to solve the case before it’s too late.

New author to me and wow, apparently a huge backlist to look into! :)
This was an easy read. Even though this is my first time reading a book from this series and this being #41, I was not lost so that's kudos to the author!
My one little niggle was that Ellie should have said something about that man, I KNEW IT. Lol
