But there’s a catch: the widow insists that Rita cater her funeral—and has already picked an exact date.As the clock ticks down to the appointed date, Rita cooks up a fabulous funeral feast. But she begins to suspect that the widow is cooking up something of her own, and it just might be an elaborate trap to catch a killer…Includes mouth-watering fall recipes and irresistible Italian classics!
