Publisher's summary

A party house, bad wine, and a dead villager add up to murder!

When Sofi Francese heads to Italy to restore the family property, she never expects it to feature a dead relative. She runs to the nearest police station, but Cenzo Bot ignores her until he learns that the victim is also the town’s mayor. Together they follow leads, but the villagers only want to hear about Sofi’s wine cellar. Now that the renovations are complete, won’t she consider selling it to one of them?

Although D.R. Ransdell lives in Arizona, in this book she borrows from her Italian heritage. The book setting of Monteleone is very like her cousins' village in Piemonte. The townspeople are friendly and warm, and they never stop talking!

A touch of Italy

This story was different from most murder mysteries I listen to and I totally loved it. Having the location in a small Italian village with a culture so different from my own added something special to the story. The hint of romance also enhanced the search for the killer. The ending left me wanting more Sofi & Cenzo.
