About the book
Life takes a turn for the worse just as things were looking up for Sally Muccio, the baker and part-time detective.
With summer in full swing, the Muccio family is enjoying the easy living. Sal's wedding is approaching, her mom has won a beauty contest, and her sister Gianna is now a licensed public defender. However, when the bakery Sal worked so hard for goes up in flames, along with her dreams, she is left feeling overwhelmed. To make matters worse, the man found dead in the bakery is Gianna's client, Bernardo Napoli.
The situation escalates for Sal and Josie when they have to relocate their bakery temporarily to the chaotic Muccio household. Trouble brews as they must deal with Sal's father and his new mortuary business, her mother's antics in bikinis, and a vengeful Italian family. Sal is left with many unanswered questions. Where is Gianna? What is her role in Bernardo's death? What is her fiancé hiding? Determined to find the truth, Sal sets out to uncover the answers before she gets burned once again.
