From Mangia to Murder (Sophia Mancini Mysteries #1)

Little Italy, 1946 – Sophia Mancini would have enjoyed the grand opening celebration of her family’s private detective agency if the volatile chef at Vincenzo’s Ristorante had actually survived the meal. But before Sophia’s chilled spoon hit the spumoni, someone plunged a knife into Vincenzo’s back and the word on everyone’s lips went from mangia to murder.

Sophia soon finds herself trailing crime boss Frankie Vidoni, chatting with his mouthy mistress Maria, and dodging henchman Mooch DiMuccio. She’s suspicious of Vincenzo’s widow, Stella, and his assistant chef, Eugene, because they don’t appear the least bit dismayed by Vincenzo’s passing. There is no conversation Sophia won’t eavesdrop on, no question she won’t ask, and no danger she won’t face to find the killer.

Clockwork Princess

This is the 3rd book in the series and the one that will answer all your questions.
Will Jem live? Will Tessa find out what she is? Will the Clave find Mortmain and his Infernals before they can destroy the shadowhunters? Will Tessa and Will get together or will she stay with Jem?

There will be many changes, in the council, in allegiances.

The way that Cassandra describes the surroundings and emotions in this book make you feel like you are there with them. The heartbreak, the happiness, fighting the Infernals with them.

This is my favourite of the series. Great way to end it.

Follow the Shadowhunters in their search for Mortmain and his Infernal devices. To save the Clave and to stay at the institute. The ups and downs of budding romance and relationships. travelling across the country, and the dangers that it involves. Learning more about Tessa's history.
