Publisher's summary

In the second installment of Maria DiRico's new Catering Hall Mystery series, Mia Carina is back in the borough of Queens, in charge of the family catering hall Belle View Banquet Manor, and keeping her nonna company. But some events - like murder at a shower - are not the kind you can schedule....

Mia's newly pregnant friend Nicole plans to hold a shower at Belle View - but Nicole also has to attend one that her competitive (and mysteriously rich) stepmother, Tina, is throwing at the fanciest place in Queens. It's a good chance for Mia to snoop on a competitor, especially since doing a search for "how to run a catering hall" can get you only so far.

Mia tags along at the lavish party, but the ambience suffers at Nicole's Belle View shower when a fight breaks out - and then, oddly, a long-missing and valuable stolen painting is unwrapped by the mom-to-be. Tina is clearly shocked to see it. But not as shocked as Mia is when, soon afterward, she spots the lifeless body of a party guest floating in the marina....

Giuseppe from Brooklyn

This second book is less LOL than the first but just as entertaining.
Can’t wait for the third book in the series. Both are very well articulated to make Brooklyn (not Queens) Sicilian family boy get nostalgic.
Go for it folks and you’ll see for yourselves. Ciao!

Laughter is the best medicine.

When I need a laugh (and who doesn't?), I can always rely on a Maria DiRico book. While listening to this book as I drove down the road, there were literally three LOLs between stop signs. What a joy!
The narrator's performance enhanced the story so much for me, a person who enjoys different accents but is unable to recreate them in my head. It is amazing how she could differentiate the voices of a number of New York City women so clearly.
The story was such an enjoyable romp. I can't wait to listen to more.

Fun and engaging

I’ll listen to a lot of thrillers and mysteries and a lot of nonfiction history and sometimes I need a break. As far as cozy mysteries go, this series is fantastic. The woman reading the books is very good. The characters are interesting and it’s not overly cliché. And the mysteries, at least for me, were intriguing and not easily figured out.

ANOTHER ADVENTURE IN QUEENS

THIS IS A GREAT SERIES, AND BOOK 2 DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT THE BELLEVUE VENUE, GOOD AND BAD. I MEAN WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WITH A PREGNANT BEST FRIEND, HER STEP-MONSTER, A FEW MOBBED UP FAMILIES, COMPETING VENUES, BABY SHOWERS, STOLEN ART, THROW IN A LITTLE UNREQUITED LOVE, AND, WELL, YOU GET IT. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS SERIES, YOU NEED TO DO SO, PRONTO.

4 and a half

Long Island Iced Tina is a pretty good cozy mystery with engaging characters and an interesting plot. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
