This series is getting better with each novel. I'm feeling more comfortable with the main characters of Eleanor Swift and her sister, Madeline Spencer. Eleanor is owner/chef of "A Slice of Delight" Pizza parlor in a cozy town known as Timber Ridge, NC.
Excitement hits Timber Ridge and especially the pizza parlor, when new bookstore owner, Cindy Rankin asks both sisters to come to her aid. A famous television chef, Antonio Benet, is coming to do a demonstration and book signing at Cindy's grand-op...more

***Though the publisher provides the free book, I offer the opinion.***
My Look:
Eleanor could help another widow, even if it meant losing a few hours worth of business at her pizzeria, A SLICE OF DELIGHT. However, when someone lit a fire in the trashcan outside her place, Eleanor got a bad feeling about this.
Cindy Rankin a new bookstore owner, friend, and widow caught both Eleanor and Maddy in her request for help. Her problem wasn't seen as one in the first few minutes, but after Eleanor did an...more

It’s not often you walk by your friendly neighborhood pizzeria and stare through the window to see a well-known chef sitting in a chair with a huge knife buried deep inside his chest, but that’s exactly what the scene is inside A Slice of Delight.
The pizza parlor is owned by Eleanor Swift, and is located in the little town of Timber Ridge, North Carolina. Although it sounds and looks like the perfect little community to reside in, this is definitely not the first time that murder has been commit...more

“A Savory Mystery Topped With lots of Extras”
As busy as Sisters Eleanor Swift and Maddy Spencer always are in Timber Ridge, North Carolina’s popular Pizzeria; “A Slice of Delight”, they always seem to find some time to help others. Little did they know that the assistance that they offered to their friend, Cindy Rankin, would lead to a murder investigation as well as the grand opening of her book store. The opening was to be a star-studded affair featuring a cooking demonstration and book-signin...more

I recently ate an 8 part pizza all by myself and I discovered that this food, however well prepared, is not my favorite meal. The pizza lovers mysteries though agrees with me extremely well. This is the fourth book of Chris Cavender about Eleanor Swift of Timber Ridge, and like its three predecessors it gets its five stars. A very juicy cozy mystery, that's what this book is.

I won this book as part of a give-away from LibraryThing. Rest in Pizza is #4 in the author's "Pizza Lovers Series". It features Eleanor Swift, who runs a pizza shop in Timber Ridge, NC. Timber Ridge is a little like Mayberry -- a small town where everyone knows everybody, and they all get along and help each other out. Eleanor and her sister are trying to make a living with the pizza shop, and are friendly with the other business owners in the town. When the new owner of a small book store asks...more
In Rest in Pizza, Eleanor runs The Slice of Delight, a pizzeria, with her sister Maddy. Not far away, there's a book store opening and TV host and famous chef, Antonio Benet has agreed to do a book signing and cooking demonstration for the grand opening. The owner has enlisted help from both Eleanor and Maddy. Things don't work out as planned, though, and Chef Antonio is found at the pizzeria with a knife in his back. Suspects abound as everyone from his assistants to Eleanor and her sister come...more
I love it when the person murdered is obnoxious, and everyone has a reason to want him dead! I am reminded of several people I have encountered in my life, and reading is always a convenient substitute for acting out my own nefarious deed.
Another food murder mystery here, folks. No better or worse than cupcakes, catering, or cookies. Choose your favorite food and start reading. I may have rated this book a little higher, but my real life has been too distracting to get into this mystery much. B...more

This was a fun cozy mystery. A guest celebrity chef named Antonio Benet comes to town and he is someone everyone loves to hate. He uses the Slice of Delight pizzeria as a "green room" prior to his appearance at a local bookstore. Unfortunately, he is knifed to death at the pizzeria. Eleanor and Maddy are sisters who run the pizza shop and they are also amateur sleuths. They go about discovering the killer in roundabout and funny ways. A little extra intrigue is thrown in as we learn about the lo...more
I just love Eleanor and Maddie's adventures! This time, the owner of Timber Ridge's pizzeria, A Slice of Delight, agrees to help neighbor, Beth, open her bookstore. The sisters agree to help with visiting Chef Benoit, think food network series, who agrees to a book signing. Problem is, the Chef has zero personality and is a diva to no end, making enemies with those around him. When the Chef turns up dead in Eleanor's restaurant, the sisters set to work investigating. They soon discover the suspe...more
When a celebrity chef visits little Timber Ridge, he manages to antagonize everyone he meets--and that's not to mention the people who came with him--his assistant, his wife, and his producer. It's really no surprise that murder follows, but pizzeria owner Eleanor Swift is afraid that the death will reflect badly on her business. She and her madcap sister decide to investigate, as they have before, and work themselves into a tight spot exposing a killer.
This book was good, but not as good as the others. First of all, I'd love to know why the author decided to change the last name of a character who appeared in the last book with a completely different last name. There are some other issues I have with the authors consistency. Also, this book and the one before it were way too obvious when it came to figuring out the killer. Hope the next book is a little better, and that the next book has an editor who has actually read all the books!
This is #4 in the Pizza Lovers cozy mystery series. Eleanor and her sister, Maddy help a friend who is opening a book store. At the grand opening a TV chef will be cooking and promoting his new cookbook. He is very obnoxious and nasty to everyone. Later that day he is found murdered in Eleanor's pizza shop. Naturally the two sisters investigate the murder.
It was another fun read in this series. The friendship between the sisters makes for a very enjoyable cozy.

This is a fun series for cozy fans who like food related mysteries in small town settings. I wasn't crazy about the actual mystery in this one but I still enjoyed the ongoing character development. I love the descriptions of the pizza parlor and of the town. I will continue to look forward to new releases in this series.
It was the second one I read and it was such an easy mindless read. Didn't care much for the recipes in the back. They are dessert pizza recipes. The sisters were tamer in the one. It was nice to revisit the characters from the last book.

By the end of the book I was sure hungry for a good pizza; this series is just OK, cozy small-town setting with likeable characters.
This series is a better Joan Fluke series. No annoying unrealistic romance issues... Light mystery, but nice characters.
quick read. It was a little predictable and slowed down toward the middle.
The mystery itself is only a 2 or 3, but the characters push it to a 4!
Cozy mystery set around a pizza place. Nice read.
Love how I am kept guessing until the last chapter! :)
A very light and quick read. I enjoy the characters and the twists, not rocket science but entertaining.
I really like these characters! Fun plot
fun, easy reading murder mystery.
