Death by Dessert by Nathan Hartswick
In New York's little Italy, the Donneducci family and the Duccedonni family have been feuding for a generation, while operating two competing Italian Restaurants that share a common wall.
This offbeat comedic murder mystery will delight with it's fast pace story, and colorful characters.
Will the murderer be ferreted out? Will the feud ever be reconciled? What are the hidden truths about what happened all those years ago?
