PEPPERONI PIZZA CAN BE MURDER

Book ID/图书代码： 14780010B36494

English Summary/英文概要： For once, it seems, no one is trying to pin a murder on Eleanor Swift, owner of the scrumptious pizzeria A Slice of Delight in the quiet little town of Timber Ridge, North Carolina. But someone has to answer for that body in her kitchen…and it looks like the final stop for Greg Hatcher, her deliveryman, may be the state penitentiary…

Eleanor knows Gregg would never have lethally bashed his own brother in the head with a pizza-rolling pin. Sure, Wade was greedily claiming far more than his fair share of their family inheritance. And Gregg did catch his ex-girlfriend Katy smooching on the couch with Wade. It’s no wonder that Timber Ridge’s police chief—and Eleanor’s ex-sweetheart—has his sights set on finding and arresting poor Gregg.

But as Eleanor and her saucy sister Maddy dig a little deeper into the mystery, they find Wade’s enemies begin to outnumber the slices on a large pie. This is one mystery that’s made to order, and if Eleanor and Maddy don’t find out who killed Wade, Gregg’s delivery days are over. But while finding the killer is one thing, escaping alive to dish the goods to the police is quite another.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 就这一次，似乎谋杀与比萨店主无关。但是，凶手一定要绳之以法。最后嫌烦锁定了她的送货人格瑞戈（Gregg）。店主肯定格瑞戈不会对自家兄弟作出此等事情。韦德贪婪的想要多拿回自己的遗产，而格瑞戈又发现他的前女友。毫无悬念，格瑞戈被逮捕了。但是，店主和他妹发现了个中玄机...(兼职翻译-XJJ)

Awards/获奖情况：每周出版人（ Publishers Weekly ）：“韦德头部遇袭，初始迹象显示格瑞戈为了祖父的遗嘱杀害了韦德。但经过店主和他妹的调查发现，他们的嫌犯名单逐渐缩短。真凶到底是格瑞戈的前女友？坏脾气的韦德女友？还是认为韦德偷取客人物品的店家？一些读者甚至还想故事再精彩点刺激点为好。”

The pseudonymous Cavender (Tim Myers) offers few surprises in his talky second mystery starring Timber Ridge, N.C., pizzeria owner Eleanor Swift (after 2009’s A Slice of Murder). When someone bashes in the head of Wade Hatcher, the brother of Eleanor’s best delivery guy, Greg Hatcher, with Eleanor’s maple rolling pin in her pizzeria kitchen, it appears at first that Greg killed Wade, who was contesting their grandparents’ will. Eleanor and her sister, Maddy, join forces to investigate after the local police chief, Kevin Hurley, who always knows how to ruffle Eleanor’s feathers, doesn’t do much. As the sisters pursue some sticky but somewhat predictable clues, their suspect list grows. Could the killer have been Greg’s estranged girlfriend, Katy Johnson; ill-tempered Sandi Meadows, who was dating Wade; or Roger Henderson, Wade’s boss, who claims Wade was stealing from his customers? Some readers might wish that Cavender had added a little more spice to his comfortable recipe of food, mystery, and smalltown vibes. ---From Publishers Weekly
