Rosie Genova is sharing with people the cover to her new book A Dish Best Served Cold!
Synopsis:
The national bestselling author of The Wedding Soup Murder returns to the Jersey Shore where a killer is stirring up trouble during a hurricane…
At the Casa Lido, the end of summer means a party, and hit whodunit writer Victoria “Vic” Rienzi and her family are cooking like crazy for the restaurant’s seventieth anniversary celebration. As they chop onions and garlic, old family friend Pete Petrocelli stops by, saying he knows something that would make for a good mystery novel. Curious, Vic asks Nonna to elaborate on Pete’s claim and learns of a relative who mysteriously disappeared back in Italy…
The night of the party brings a crowd—and a full throttle hurricane. When the storm finally passes, everyone thinks they’re in the clear—until the first casualty is found, and it’s Pete. Remembering his visit, Vic isn’t certain Pete’s death was an accident and decides to dig deeper into his story. What she finds is meatier than Nonna’s sauce…

Author Biography:
A Jersey girl born and bred, national bestselling author Rosie
Genova left her heart at the shore, which serves as the setting for much
of her work. The atmosphere of the Jersey shore is present in the
details, whether it’s the smell of the sea, the sound of a Springsteen
song, or the taste of Kohr’s custard from the boardwalk. And no summer
is complete unless she has sand in her shoes.
A bookworm from the time she could sound out words, Rosie spent
many happy hours in her home town library where she hid behind the
stacks reading the titles she was too young to check out. She earned two
degrees in English from Rutgers University, where she discovered to her
delight that reading Jane Austen was actually considered homework.
Though she’s always considered herself a writer, she didn’t pen her
first novel until ten years ago, and she hasn’t stopped since.
Her series, the Italian Kitchen Mysteries, is informed by her
deep appreciation for good food, her pride in her heritage, and her love
of classic mysteries, from Nancy Drew to Miss Marple. Her debut novel, Murder and Marinara, was named a Best Cozy of 2013 by Suspense Magazine and
was a finalist for a 2014 Daphne Du Maurier Award. An English teacher
by day and novelist by night, Rosie also writes women’s fiction as
Rosemary DiBattista. She still lives in her home state with her husband
and her youngest son.
