When her goddaughter is accused of stealing a valuable necklace from a wealthy woman, Nonna Maria sets out to clear her name, which draws her into the murder of a mysterious woman, forcing her to string together the clues before death comes for Ischia again. - Random House, Inc.
Nonna Maria, âone of the most charming amateur sleuths ever createdâ (Tess Gerritsen), sets out to clear her goddaughterâs name and uncover the checkered past of an unidentifiable victim in this transporting mystery from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lorenzo Carcaterra.
Nonna Maria has a lot on her plateâand itâs not just fresh pasta. Two crimes have rocked the sun-drenched island of Ischia, and once again the islandâs denizens have called upon the espresso-brewing, sage-counsel-giving sleuth.
A wealthy woman alleges that a valuable necklace has been stolen from her hotel room. She blames one of the young women working on the cleaning crew as the most likely suspectâa young woman who turns out to be Nonna Mariaâs goddaughter. Loretta takes the heat, but privately she proclaims her innocence.
Nearby, the body of a woman is found on a curved road near the borough of Barano. The woman is not known to anyone on the island. She has no purse, carries no identification. The one suspect is a young friend of Nonna Mariaâs who drove by the area that very night and thinks that he might have hit somethingâa pothole, or an animal, or maybe the woman in question.
It turns out that this woman had a decades-old history on Ischia, but why did she return, and more important, who killed her? Itâs up to Nonna Maria to string together the cluesâlike the links of the beautiful missing necklaceâand solve these two mysteries before death comes to Ischia again.
