The Southern Pasta Shop series is Jennifer L. Hart’s culinary cozy mystery offering. Set in a Southern Italian restaurant, the four books follow the shop owner as crimes keep occurring around the business. The series started with Murder al Dente in 2014.
The food-themed titles continue with Christmas al Dente, Murder a la Flambe, and Murder Al Fresco. Hart uses the restaurant setting to bring together a cast of regulars and visiting suspects, with Italian cooking as a backdrop to the mystery-solving.
