Joanne Pence

Culinary queen Angie Amalfi has put aside her gourmet utensils to concentrate on planning her upcoming wedding to San Francisco homicide detective Paavo Smith. What could possibly go wrong?

Instead of the answer to her heart's dreams, she scrambles to deal with wedding planners with bizarre ideas, wedding dresses that don't flatter, squabbling relatives with hurt feelings, a long-suffering groom, and worries over where she and Paavo will live after the wedding. But all of that pales when Angie finds the perfect house for them, except for one little problem--the house may be haunted.

Many years ago, the newlyweds who lived in the house were murdered, and the case was never solved. While Angie pursues what happened to the couple who now may be haunting the house, Paavo obsesses over his own case involving the murder of unlikely lovers. The trail leads to ghosts, murders, unhappy families, and enough obnoxious wedding buttinskis to fill a graveyard. But when eerie happenings turn deadly, Angie fears she may be spirited away for good!

"A tasty treat for all mystery and suspense lovers who like food for thought, murder and a stab at romance." --The Armchair Detective

The Angie & Friends Food & Spirits Mysteries

Cooking Spirits: An Angie & Friends Food & Spirits Mystery

Gourmet cook Angie Amalfi has big plans for her life as a soon-to-be married woman, but between nervous kitchen re-modellers, clever murderers, and possibly ghosts, nothing is going as planned. Angie hopes a romantic evening out with her fiancé, Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith, will bring a welcome reprieve from the hectic pace of remodelling the older house that she and Paavo bought in hopes of making it move-in ready before their upcoming wedding. But circumstances--worldly and seemingly other-worldly--conspire against her. Not the least of which is her newest acquaintance, a lonely heiress, who quickly involves Angie in the heiress's bizarre family history of indiscretions, high finances, and murder.

Angie suspects the key to all the weirdness going on with the family lies in the mansion that is now in her new friend's hands--a place that, if it isn't haunted, certainly looks as if it should be. Angie drags several old cohorts into the fray to help her newest pal, but as the situation gets murkier, Angie soon wonders if she'll ever see her own happy ending.

Add a Pinch of Murder: An Angie & Friends Food & Spirits Mystery

Angie Amalfi’s wedding—her Big Day—is on the verge of becoming a Big Mess. She had planned every detail of the day with the utmost care, wanting everything to be perfect. But now people across the city are dying to put the wedding on hold. A crazed killer here, a bumped off bride there. In her mind, nothing less than a criminal conspiracy must be at work to keep her wedding from being where and when she wants it. 

Angie’s fiancé, San Francisco Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith, the entire SFPD Homicide Squad, her friends and family all jump into the fray to help save her wedding plans. But as dangers and catastrophes grow faster than yeast-overloaded bread dough, Angie can’t help but wonder if her Big Day will turn into her Biggest Disaster ever.

Cook's Big Day: An Angie & Friends Food & Spirits Mystery

As culinary queen Angie Amalfi-Smith starts a new phase of her life with a husband and a home to call her own, one long-time problem still plagues her: finding a job, or business, or service, or anything that will make her feel as if her days are productive as well as rewarding.

When she stumbles upon a fresh idea for a livelihood with her best friend, Connie Rogers, her culinary prospects begin looking up. But no sooner does she think that, than her exciting new career takes a dangerous turn. Someone is obsessed with destroying it. And now, with Satanic revellers, snarky sisters, suspicious friends, and possibly a serial killer on the loose, Angie wonders if, this time, her goose may be cooked … for good.

NOTE: For original Angie Amalfi mystery readers, this is a major rewrite (including "whodunnit" although some scenes will be familiar) of the mystery previously published as BELL, COOK & CANDLE.
