Dear Booksharian friends,

How could I forget A Pizza to Die for, the third in the Eleanor Swift Pizzeria 
Mystery Series, it is set right before and on Halloween.

Brief Synopsis
Timber Ridge is barely large enough to support widowed Eleanor's pizzeria, so 
she's alarmed when a fancier pizza place is set to open nearby. When its owner 
is found dead inside, she investigates realizing she's finally ready for 
romance and that others will die if she doesn't act fast.



Complete Synopsis



[from front inside dust jacket flap]

"Though it's an unseasonably chilly October in Timber Ridge, North Carolina, 
Eleanor Swift is warm and cozy in A Slice of Delight--her scrumptious pizzeria. 
But when snooty Judson Sizemore breezes into town to open an upper-crust pizza 
parlor nearby, Eleanor's biggest worry is that her beloved restaurant's days 
may be numbered ... until she hears Judson's days have come to a most gruesome 
end ...

Since half the town saw Judson causing a ruckus in A Slice of Delight before he 
expired, Eleanor and her saucy sister, Maddie, are the prime suspects. The only 
way out is to prove their innocence. Soon, a little surreptitious sleuthing 
reveals that the dough behind Judson's impending pizzeria came from Timber 
Ridge's resident recluse: crusty oddball millionaire Nathan Sizemore. It turns 
out he's Judson's long-lost uncle ... and someone is after him, too.

As Eleanor digs deeper, her suspect list grows longer than the local soccer 
team's pizza order--and life in the once quiet town heats up like Maddie's 
five-alarm Volcano pie. Could it be Judson's gold-digging sister? Or her secret 
boyfriend? Between working on the case, keeping her customers happy, and even 
finding time for an old flame, Eleanor's plate is full. But with an unhinged 
murderer closing in, she'll have to move very quickly--and very 
carefully--because the killer is already much closer than she thinks ..."



The next installments in this series will be ready soon, #4 Rest in Pizza and 
#5 Killer Crust.



And, here’s a correction, the title of the book about Halloween customs is 
Witches, Pumpkins and Grinning Ghosts.



Always with love,
Lissi
