Minnie Santangelo and the Evil Eye — Anthony Mancini

The classic novel of suspense set in New York's Little Italy of the 1970's and featuring the resourceful amateur detective and home cook who wowed readers in the debut novel, Minnie Santangelo's Mortal Sin. To this tasty literary dish add a dash of the supernatural instead of oregano. Once again supersleuth Minnie. Italian soul sister to Miss Marple, is up to her floured elbows in mystery mayhem and sheer spine-tingling fun. First published in 1977 by Coward, McCann & Geoghegan
