Murder and Marinara (An Italian Kitchen Mystery, #1)Murder and Marinara by Rosie Genova

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I believe I may have found the perfect modern cozy mystery! When I think of mysteries, I think of the way they used to be prior to gore and other garbage, I think of stories just like this one. Rosie Genova has added everything into this story to make is enchanting and extremely smart. There is some romance, incredible mystery, and a delicious humor. From the opening page of the book, I was hooked. I found very little that bothered me within the book. There is some profanity, but it didn’t really bother me. I am so grateful there were no bedroom scenes!

Each one of the characters in this book are developed well, but Victoria was my favorite (I’m not even sure why). The author has set the scene in an expert fashion, and her logic comes across in an amazing way. I never found myself lost, bored, or horrified. I halfway figured out “who done it” (My ego is always bolstered when I do this!), but I have to admit that I wasn’t certain I was correct as I devoured the pages of the story!

I look forward to the next installment of this book. Victoria has quickly become a favorite character of mine. In some ways, she reminds me of “Jessica Fletcher” (“Murder She Wrote”), but this character still has a fresh, modern outlook that keeps her from being mundane. If you delight in mysteries, this book should migrate to the top of your list!

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
