Beskrivelse
Carnevale in Acorn Hollow is all about masquerade balls and sinfully delicious Italian desserts. But this year, it's being spiced up with disastrous romances, blackmail, and even a murder....In the Italian-American community of Acorn Hollow, it's Carnevale. The townspeople are reveling in masked balls and lively processions-and overindulging in meaty lasagnas and rich desserts like sanguinaccio and bomboloni.For once, though, the town's most ardent Italophile, matriarch-turned-reporter Rita Calabrese, is not in the holiday spirit. With no crime to solve, nothing to write about, and the clock ticking down towards her hasty and ill-advised Lenten resolution to stop interfering in (or, as she would say, "improving") the lives of others, she's staring down forty days of sheer boredom.But that's before her twin sister is blackmailed for a scandalous indiscretion and the world's most uncouth, boorish houseguest shows up and refuses to leave until Rita gives him a crash course in feminism and romance, all to woo back his estranged wife.Rita tries to adhere to her Lenten resolution, but fate has other plans. When a friend's wine is poisoned at a masquerade ball and a local vintner's glamorous fianc e is murdered, Rita bows to the inevitable and dives into an investigation rife with suspects and riven by romantic entanglements and family drama. Featuring mouth-watering recipes for Italian classics, including lasagna and Italian Easter pie
