The Trouble With a Bad Fit
A Novel of Food, Fashion, and Mystery
by Camilla T. Crespi
Review:
Simona Griffo--the Italian-born,
New York-based food and murder expert--is worried about losing
her soft creative job at her ad agency, of being pushed upstairs
with "the Living Dead, account executives who get to work
at 8 a.m. in ironed suits and crisp hair, trailing antiseptic
deodorant smells. I thrive in the late-starting, garlic-breath,
T-shirt-and-jeans department." She certainly does. Simona's
latest misadventure takes her cooking and crime-solving skills
into the world of high fashion, where one of Griffo's clients
is in danger of losing her company and her freedom. As usual,
there's a great-looking recipe at the end of the book
Review:
Simona Griffo expects chaos
as usual from her eccentric family during her visit to her
native Rome, but when she witnesses the murder of an American
art student, her trip is off to an ominous start. And when
the murder weapon turns out to belong to a friend, everyone
is placed under suspicion.
Review:
Ad exec and amateur sleuth
Simona Griffo is trying to take a week off in the Hamptons,

In a story as lazy and easy to take as a summer afternoon,
we follow Simona, her improbable Russian partner Dimitri,
and a varied cast of characters--boyfriends, ad people, detectives,
local residents and businesspeople--as they try to track the
truth behind the recent death of advertising hero Bud Warren
and that of his ex-wife, a year past
