Rosie Genova’s Christmas Novella

Buone feste, y'all! A fellow Italian-American writer's got a holiday release. How could I not promote it?

Rosie Genova, author of the Italian Kitchen Mysteries, serves up a new dish this week with the release of her e-book holiday novella, The Seven-Course Christmas Killer: A Holiday Novella from the Italian Kitchen.

The story takes place on Christmas Eve, as Vic and the gang prepare the traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes for their annual holiday party. But before you can say “shrimp scampi,” Mayor Anne McCrae takes a nasty fall that may not be an accident. Add a nosy reporter, guests with grudges, and a missing kitchen knife—and Vic suddenly has all the ingredients for murder!

On Christmas Eve, someone might be sleeping with the fishes. . .

It’s December at the Casa Lido, which means only one thing: the Rienzi family’s traditional Christmas Eve celebration, including wine, song, and seven Italian seafood courses. As Victoria and Tim prep scungilli and calamari, Nonna directs the cooking until all is in readiness for the big night.

But the holiday cheer is interrupted by the attempted murder of Mayor Anne McCrae, who asks Vic to investigate. Trouble is, there are as many suspects as there are fishes on the Christmas Eve menu . . .

Rosie Genova’s Christmas Novella — 4 Comments

  1. Traci, I know your work and very honored to be featured on your blog today. Thanks for helping out a paesana, and have a wonderful holiday! (Do you do the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve?)

    Best wishes, Rosie

    • Hi Rosie,

      I jumped at the chance to feature your novella! LOVE your work.

      We don’t do the feast in my family, but an amazing hotel here in Austin—Hotel Granduca—serves it on Christmas Eve. And I mention the feast in my short story, Rosolio Red (which just made the USA Today Bestseller List today in the collection Cozy Christmas Shorts). So, I can’t wait to read The Seven-Course Christmas Killer (such a great title)!
