My 4 star review of Pretzel Pizza Murder (Papa Pacelli's Pizzeria, #15), by Patti Benning:-

Spoiler:

The murder in the title was eclipsed by the mystery testament that appeared out of nowhere in the book. This is a very short book so to reveal anything about it amounts to spoilers reveal.

I keep giving these low budget books 4 or 5 stars, yet they keep forcing my hand to do just that after each entry in the series.

I wish that there was something more natural about the background of the story, little things, like maybe Ellie needs to go on a diet, or her workers strike, or her grandma falls ill, bless her.

But such details are for less traditional and more modern, and more detailed books. This series is like a stage. It doesn't need that many props. That's it from me.
