Summary

The young Bruno Mulas is found dead in the street, a few meters from the apartment he shared with his friend Gavino. Several posts on Facebook seem to point to a suicide, but Gavino does not think so. Bruno's parents are bewildered, his friends seem to be entrenched in silence. The case becomes an obsession for the protagonist, the crime journalist Nereo Carta, who remains entangled in a network of relationships in which no one is what they seem. The story, structured as a mystery-noir, deals with themes and topics related to the cosmos of young people. Suicide, for example, to which the protagonist dedicates extensive reflections, as well as mental illness and existential distress because of the inability to find a position and meaning in one's life.

    🦃 Jam maker and cranberry farm owner Berry Sweet is hosting her family's annual Thanksgiving when the dinner's most contentious relative—a notorious food traditionalist opposed to recipe changes—is found dead in the pantry, a jar of suspicious cranberry sauce shattered around her. The police suspect an allergic reaction, but Berry notices the cranberry sauce has been deliberately over-sweetened and the victim's family recipe cards contain coded notes about ingredient substitutions. With her family gathering turning sour and generations of tradition at stake, Berry must strain through family secrets to find the truth. Assisted by her canning club friends and the handsome food chemist analyzing pectin levels, Berry uncovers a scheme involving recipe forgery, fruit substitution, and a plot to alter family culinary legacy. From suspicious gel points that reveal improper cooking to sugar content that doesn't match heirloom recipes, every jiggly spoonful tells a story. But when Berry discovers the victim was systematically altering family recipes to cut out certain relatives from inheriting culinary secrets, she realizes the killer is protecting family unity more precious than any preserved fruit. With Thanksgiving dinner imminent and the real recipe forger still stirring the pot, Berry must set the truth before her family's traditions get permanently canned.
