Murder in an Italian Village

Praise for Murder in an Italian Village

“Plot twists, the lovingly described Amalfi Coast setting, Italian-culture frame, and fully realized characters—including the smart, determined Bria coming to terms with her widowhood—make this first in a series a satisfying cozy mystery.” —Booklist

“Murder in an Italian Village combines a smart and fiercely independent heroine possessing strong family values with a murder that takes place a little too close to home. Thanks to the spectacularly visually descriptive narrative, this is a delightful portrayal of Italian village life along with a hint of romance. Readers will soon find themselves longing to live in Positano Italy—dead bodies and all.” —Lauren Elliott, USA Today bestselling author of Dedication to Murder

“Falco’s beautifully written, atmospheric, and cleverly plotted mystery will have you longing for a visit to Italy’s Amalfi Coast.” —Darci Hannah, author of Murder at the Pumpkin Pageant

“There’s so much to love in this series’ premier. For starters, there’s the huge and hilarious cast of characters, each so unique—from clothes to personality—that there’s no chance of confusion. Add to that a series of capers that place Bria and her BFF, Rosalie, in increasingly risky situations. And Falco’s peppering of the book with Italian—don’t worry, you’ll be able to figure it out—goes far to give it a feeling of authenticity. Finally, we go beyond the tourists and learn more about the unique and beguiling town that is Positano.” —firstCLUE
