MURDER BY RECIPE – Emma Ferrari's Second Case (Vol. II)

  • Italian cuisine meets Bavarian coziness in this charming cozy crime, perfect for comfort and enjoyment.

A cooking contest, a noble finalist, and a murder in the jury.

A cooking competition in the quaint village of Himmelsricht creates a stir with glamorous names on menu cards and tempting aromas in the air. Emma Ferrari, who runs a gourmet shop in town, is excited to support her friend Konstanze von Hohenfels, who is in the finals. But when Konstanze's eccentric 92-year-old mother, Isadora, collapses face-first into her risotto and dies, shock waves hit the village. Emma starts her own investigation, and soon Detective Gieseking arrives to uncover that Isadora was poisoned. As Emma digs deeper, she discovers a web of secrets and motives from those who might have wanted the noblewoman dead.
