Public Anchovy #1is the third book in Mindy Quigley's delectable Deep Dish Mystery series, set in a Wisconsin pizzeria.
While Geneva Bays upper crust gets ready to party down at a Prohibition-themed fundraiser, pizza chef Delilah OLeary is focused on seeing her struggling restaurant through the winter slow season. The temperature outside is plummeting, but Delilahs love life might finally be heating up, as hunky police detective Calvin Capone seems poised to (finally) make a move.
But Delilahs hopes of perfecting a new free-from pizza recipe for a charity bash are dashed when a dead body crashes the party. Soon, Capone, Delilah, and her entire staff are trapped in an isolated mansion and embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
To catch an increasingly-desperate killer, Delilah will have to top all of her previous crime-solving accomplishments, and a few pizzas, too.
Originally from Chicago, MINDY QUIGLEY possesses a naturally sophisticated pizza palate. Her desert island pizza choice would be Lou Malnatis Deep Dish Lou or an Aurelios thin-crust with spinach, tomatoes, and black olives. She is the author of the Deep Dish Mysteries and the Lindsay Harding Mystery series. She lives in Virginia with her history professor husband and their two children.

Praise for the Deep Dish Mysteries:
Witty, character-driven, and well-plotted....The satire is a joy, Delilah's narration is sheer pleasure, and her restaurant crew provides plenty of balance. This is turninlóÒ
