--------------------------
Carlita Garlucci is thrilled now that her new Italian restaurant, Ravello’s Ristorante is finally set to open in just a few days. Her new staff is in place and ready to get down to business.
Even more exciting is Tony and Shelby’s wedding, hosted by Ravello’s, of course. The ceremony is a joyous affair and the guests rave over the authentic Italian feast.
The event is going off without a hitch…until a wedding guest complains of not feeling well, right before collapsing in the courtyard. Is it a simple case of heat exhaustion, perhaps a medical incident, or worse still…food poisoning?
With the new restaurant’s reputation on the line, Carlita and Mercedes spearhead their own investigation and soon realize that some of their own family members might have been the intended targets.
Will they find out who’s behind the deadly scheme or is the matrimonial mayhem just the tip of the iceberg?

★★★★★ Another Great CozyAnother great cozy,Carlotta and Mercedes race to some a murder. I loved the storyline,characters,suspense,the twists and turns. This book is recommended for those who love cozy mysteries.-Linda Rainey
★★★★★ What's a little murder among friends.All seems to be going as planned for the much anticipated wedding and opening of the restaurant. But things quickly take a turn for the worse. It takes help from old and new friends to solve the case! I was sure I knew who was behind it all.WRONG! -Diann Langer
★★★★★ Foreshadowing and Red Herrings make for an intriguing mysteryOnce again a well crafted, page turning, and intriguing mystery, which is nicely paced with foreshadowing and clues. As a reader I enjoyed how Hope Callaghan brought back into play the unique characters of Pirate Pete and Elvira. Hope Callaghan weaves into her story previous characters, refreshing the reader's memory in a positive way. While I suspected who had a part in the murder, Hope Callaghan provided enough red herrings to throw the reader off; and I definitely did not suspect the murderer. A delightful read. -Deutsche OMA
★★★★★ Another Great ReadHope Callaghan does it again. Another great read full of twists and turns till the very end.-db55

Totally enjoyable reading!-oshaal

★★★★★ Happy Tony and Shelby are now married...........As usual Hope Callaghan did it once again in her Savannah/Garlucci family series. Hope can't write fast enough cause I got her book on the 10th and finished it by the 13th. Loved the plot in this one, kept me guessing to the end. Once again Elvira has got my ire up. I don't think I have ever disliked a character as much as I dislike her. If I were Carlita Garlucci, I would be building a 10 or 12 foot high fence all along my property in the alley to keep Elvira's nosy self out. I am so happy that Tony and Shelby are now married. Waiting to see what happens between Mercedes and the new neighbor? I like Carlita's new friend Reese who drives the Trolley. I hope the friendship grows between the two. Again thanks Hope for a good read. Looking forward to the next installment. I read an advance copy for a true and unbiased review.- MissMarple

5.0 out of 5 stars Poison
This latest book in the series is every bit as good as all the previous ones. Carlita's son, Tony is marrying his fiancé, Shelby and the reception is being held at Carlita's soon to be opened restaurant. During the reception one of the guests gets very sick and is taken to hospital in an ambulance. It turns out she was poisoned. Who could have done this, and why? Would this prevent the opening of her new restaurant? Carlita and her daughter, Mercedes, will do everything in their power to find out who was responsible and bring them to justice, at the same time ensuring that the opening of the restaurant goes ahead on schedule.
