Things at Papa Pacelli’s Pizzeria are going well. Owner, Eleanora Pacelli, is proud that the little restaurant has grown and thrived under her management. Not only is Ellie succeeding in business; her relationship with the town’s sheriff is blossoming, and she’s beginning to hope that they might have a real future together. When Russell’s parents come to town unexpectedly, Ellie is excited to meet them. Unfortunately, his mother’s first impression of her isn’t a good one. She’s just thinking things can’t get any worse when a body is found, the body of someone with whom Ellie had gotten into an argument the day before. As Eleanor tries to uncover the killer, she begins to doubt her relationship with the sheriff, just as people around town begin to doubt her.
