This was a decent mystery though it lacked clues for the reader to solve it independently. The 'cozy' background was unique in that it involved a family business (growing olives & pressing them into olive oils) but one that was owned & run by "recovering" Mafia family members (ones out of prison & others all going straight). While I found the recipes at the end of the chapters sounded good, I would have preferred having them all at the end of the book where they didn't interrupt the flow of my reading. ( )

An enjoyable, quick read about a family of recovering mobsters living and working on an olive orchard. The main character Mia spent a lot of time in the book selling her family's olive oil to the readers, which seemed a bit ridiculous, and was a bit annoying, but it really didn't distract overly much from the story itself. The cast of characters are colourful and eccentric, and the mystery was rife with suspects. The ultimate reveal of the murderer was successful - I hadn't guessed who it was before they were unmasked. The very end of the story leaves the door open for the next mystery, coming out in 2013. ( )

Great book! Looking forward to the next in the series. The characters were quirky and funny I liked them so much, I wanted to hang out with them. Intriguing mystery and lots of romantic fun. ( )
