ARC Review: Crime of the Ancient Marinara by Stephanie Cole
“Honestly, I was expecting a little bit more in terms of the mystery. However, I didn’t think it was terrible either”
~ Under the Covers
CRIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINARA is the second book in Stephanie Cole’s Tuscan Cooking School Mystery series. After enjoying the first book of the series, I was very much looking forward to this one.
In this book, Nell has begin to settle down and she has gotten a better grip on things. Or so she thinks. When things start happening around her, I found that the book started to pick up a bit more. That being said, it was a little slow in the beginning, but thankfully, it does get a bit better.
Honestly, I was expecting a little bit more in terms of the mystery. However, I didn’t think it was terrible either. I guess it could be the fact that I enjoyed the first book so much that my expectations were higher. Nevertheless, I look forward to Cole’s second book and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys culinary mystery books!
