Ever since my mob family, the Spia s, decided to go straight, Mom and I have been doing everything possible to keep these former Wise Guys from falling back into their old ways. Then Cousin Dickey showed up and threw a rotten olive into the mix. The next thing I knew there was a dead body, a nosey detective, a randy ex-lover, an even more randy imported mobster, and a lucrative olive oil business in jeopardy.

With the help of my best friend, a survival expert, and bestselling author, Lisa Lin we try our best to trap a killer while we unravel family secrets, and uncover facts about my missing father which will lead us to even more rotten olives.

Can my family and their olive orchard survive this scandal or are we doomed to repeat the sins of our past?

Come join me on my quest to stay sober while I try my best to avoid murder and mayhem on the Spia Family Orchard.

*No actual mobsters were harmed during the writing of this book.

    This mystery is filled with everything you could want: a complex and crazy cast of characters, an intriguing setting of Spia’s Olive Orchard and Press, and a heroine you’ll root for from page one. And, yes, there are recipes for delicious Italian food! You’ll definitely be turning pages to see who-done-it, with lots of twists and turns in the plot. The author writes dialogue that sparkles and creates fun characters that are one of a kind…and will keep you guessing. Oh, and there are hunky guys in the story too! Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
  • Yummy!

    A delicious mystery! The characters are vivid, the action lively, and the food to die for. I definitely laughed (and hungered for the food).
