The owner of a small town Southern pizzeria is out to deliver justice in this "saucy debut . . . with all the ingredients needed for an enjoyable treat" (Lesa's Book Critiques).

Not too much happens in the sleepy little town of Timber Ridge, North Carolina—which is fine with local pizza-purveyor Eleanor Swift. The spunky owner of A Slice of Delight could use some peace and quiet while she mends her broken heart. But when a late-night delivery leads her straight to the scene of a murder, it's a recipe for disaster.

Timber Ridge Chief of Police Kevin Hurley—who happens to be Eleanor's old high school flame—has her topping his suspect list. Now, with the help of her quirky sister Maddy, Eleanor is cooking up an investigation of her own. But she'll have to act fast to clear her name before the real killer comes back for seconds.

Homemade pizza dough and sauce recipes included!
