“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!

Blogger/Reviewer at Under the Covers Book Blog

I’m an obsessive makeup junkie and a compulsive reader. I like to call Under the Covers Book Blog my stomping ground, but when I’m not talking about books with my girls, I write New Adult Dystopian and Contemporary Romance under the pen name Ana Jolene (http://www.anajolene.com). I also work as a virtual assistant for authors. You also can find me as a reviewer and columnist for FreshFiction.com.

When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.

When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!
