After her philandering husband’s boat went down, newly single Mia Carina went back to Astoria, the bustling Queens neighborhood of her youth. Living with her Nonna and her oversized cat, Doorstop, she’s got a whole new life—including some amateur sleuthing . . .

Mia is starting work at Belle View, her father’s catering hall, a popular spot for weddings, office parties, and more—despite the planes that occasionally roar overhead on their way to LaGuardia and rattle the crystal chandelier. Soon she’s planning a bachelor party for a less-than-gentlemanly groom. But it goes awry when the gigantic cake is wheeled in and a deadly surprise is revealed . . .

Since some of her family’s associates are on the shady side, the NYPD wastes no time in casting suspicion on Mia’s father. Now, Mia’s going to have to use all her street smarts to keep him out of Rikers Island . . .

My Thoughts:  Holy macanoli a cozy mystery with MOB connections. It was awesome! A fun mystery with some over the top characters and it even includes recipes which is always a total plus with me!

The main character Mia bless her heart you can't help but love her with all her quirkiness. Poor thing has moved back to help with the "family business" the new business that is; after she's been cleared of her own husbands death/disappearance only to have a body with ties to her ex-mob father show up in a catering job cake! Ohhh let the fun begin now as Mia has to fight tooth and nail to clear her father and save the family business.
