Description
"One Husband, Well Done... In 1987, Maria and Damien Capello co-opened Polpette Della Nonna, a much beloved Italian restaurant in upstate New York. Despite its immense popularity, Polpette closed suddenly in 1995, shortly after Damien's untimely death. The media circus was intense, gossip swirling around the mysterious matriarch, claiming Maria murdered her husband to build her culinary empire on his bones--but the entire Capello family maintained their stony silence. Until now. Thea Woods has no idea why she was chosen to work with Maria on her sure-to-be-infamous memoir, but she doesn't question her luck, leaving her husband and daughter behind to join the Capellos on their rustic, idyllic upstate farm. But something's not quite right with the close-knit clan. Damien isn't the only person caught in the Capello's snare that's gone missing and as the stench of rot hidden beneath the kind coastal grandmother veneer rises, Thea may find herself trapped at the center of the greatest scandal to rock the culinary world since Damien's increasingly suspicious disappearance-assuming she can live long enough to tell the tale. Because there are reasons why Damien's body was never found...and why, in over thirty years, Maria Capello has never revealed the secret ingredient in her most famous recipe."--,Provided by publisher.
