By Sophie Charnowski from Kylie Logan’s Ethnic Eats Mysteries




I’m getting a little nervous.  All right, I admit it, a lot nervous.  You see, my niece, Laurel, is all set to tell another story about our adventures over at my restaurant, Sophie’s Terminal at the Tracks.  What’s that you ask?  What’s wrong with that?  Well, nothing, of course.  Sophie’s is the nicest and homeiest place in Hubbard, Ohio.  I’ve owned the restaurant in the old train station for 30 years and I love it to pieces.  But ever since Laurel came to town and started featuring ethnic foods on the menu, then telling folks all about us . . .

Well, there’s this little problem with murder.

First there was the television investigative reporter.

Then my dear friend, Rocky.

And now . . .

Well, we’re about to feature Italian food and I keep telling myself nothing can go wrong.  But then I remember that’s what I said about Irish food.  And French food, too.

I’ve only got another month to keep my fingers crossed.  “Italian Iced” appears on store (and cyber) shelves on July 3.

And then I can take a deep breath and relax, right?

Because really . . . Italian food, a long-simmering Hollywood secret, a handsome race car driver, and Laurel’s rocky love life . . .

What can possibly go wrong?
