Pompeii, Paccheri, and Panic: A Culinary Comedy Mystery (Piazza and Pasta Mysteries, Prequel)

⭐ From USA Today bestselling author Traci Andrighetti comes a laugh-out-loud mystery series where luxury food tours through Italy dish up pasta, piazzas—and plenty of peril.

A luxury food tour in Pompeii? Yes. A poisoned plate of paccheri? Not on the menu.

Giada Adair came to the ancient city for research, not for ruin. But when a graduate student drops dead after eating the dish she refused, her food-and-travel career could be up in smoke before it has even started. Suspected of poisoning and tied to the disappearance of a priceless Roman oil lamp, Giada's in deeper trouble than the buried city itself.

With help from Moira, her street-smart assistant, and a theatrical Contessa who insists that tragedy requires proper staging, Giada must unearth the truth behind the lamp, the murder, and a suspiciously sexy professor. Between poisonous pasta, a fedora-wearing stalker, and ancient brothel murals that would embarrass an art historian, Giada's on the verge of a meltdown—and this time, Mount Vesuvius isn't the only thing ready to blow.

📚 Pompeii, Paccheri, and Panic is Book 1 in the prequel to the Pasta and Piazza Mysteries. Pack your bags for Italy—ancient ruins, deadly cuisine, and one unforgettable disaster await!
