Nocino Noir

Franki's coffee shop noir is a hard nut to crack!

It's a slow, steamy summer in New Orleans' French Quarter, but Franki Amato is busy planning her bridal shower-that is, until a hit-and-run outside a coffee shop gets her PI senses percolating. The victim is linked to crimes at a fancy society wedding in a haunted hotel where Franki's fiancé's family is staying. As for the java joint, it's straight out of a hardboiled detective movie, and there's something hinky about its walnut liqueur coffee. Franki's Sicilian nonna says the macabre events are proof the malocchio has been cast on her impending marriage, and to her utter surprise, her future grandmother-in-law also suspects the evil eye. To save her wedding and solve the case, Franki must investigate some shady places, from a witch shop and bridal swap to a shack in the swamp. She has to uncover the identities of a femme fatale and a jewel thief and unravel the meaning of a deadly delivery. If she doesn't, this noir mystery could turn Grimm fairy tale.

Nocino Noir is book 9 in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be read as a standalone story. If you like zany characters and laugh-out-loud humor with a splash of suspense, then you'll drink up this fun series by USA Today Bestselling Author Traci Andrighetti. Cheers!
