Summary : Nell Valenti is at ease when managing a farm to table cooking school in sun-dappled Tuscany, but begins to feel the heat when tasked with catching a killer, in this engaging Italian-set cozy mystery series. When a wealthy New York philanthropist pays top dollar for a private, four-day ziti workshop, Nell Valenti wants everyone at the Orlandini cooking school focused on the task at hand. But complications abound when Nell’s boyfriend Pete Orlandini rushes to Rome for an unexpected business trip, Chef Orlandini is more preoccupied with a potential spot on an American cooking show than preparing for the workshop, and an uninvited woman sneaks into the villa to inspect Pete’s olive grove. The last disturbance proves deadly, and when the woman’s body is found in the grove, Nell must investigate before her hopes for the workshop, like the olives, are crushed. Nell now has another item on her checklist--keep the Orlandinis out of trouble and the wealthy ziti-lovers happy while she looks into the stranger’s past. When Nell discovers that for one of the Orlandinis, at least, the murder victim was not such a stranger after all, she’ll learn that when a detective goes digging in Italy, she’d better be ready for truffle.

So she is overjoyed when Sal, her normally oh-so-unromantic husband, proposes a second honeymoon at a villa in Tuscany. For two weeks, she'll get a respite from her hectic life as a reporter, sleuth, and mother and be able to just lounge by the pool, traipse through vineyards and olive groves, and gorge on gelato and tiramisu. Then Rita meets a suave Italian art crimes detective convinced that the villa is the epicenter of an antiquities trafficking ring, and her romantic getaway becomes a working vacation. As she quaffs glorious vino and learns to roll pici pasta by hand, Rita sizes up the other guests. Ostensibly, they have gathered for the nuptials of Alessandro and Giovanna, the Romeo and Juliet of the Italian archaeology world. But is one of them also a criminal mastermind? When the villa's owner is found dead in an ancient Etruscan tomb, Rita begins to wonder if something even more sinister is afoot. Plunging into an investigation filled with star-crossed lovers, bitter professional rivalries, long-buried secrets, and fabulous food, Rita finds that Italy never loses its ability to amaze. Featuring delectable, authentic Italian recipes for caponata, pear and almond tart, peaches with mascarpone, and more!

Summary : It was early morning. There was ice on the roads but the sun, climbing the blue sky, promised to melt it. A small, ancient, three-wheeled vehicle, an Ape truck of a dull blue colour, much scratched and rather battered, drew to a noisy halt beside the rubbish bins. A man got out and stood for a moment scrutinising the area, then evidently satisfied that no one had noticed him, placed a plastic bag on the ground in front of the largest green bin. He climbed back in and the vehicle was set into rackety motion again. As it got further and further away it sounded more and more like the insect it was named after, the bee. As the sound faded, another more acute one took its place, a wail, the cry of a baby. . . Thus begins the latest mystery by Margaret Moore, TUSCAN TERROR, featuring Dr. Ruggero di Girolamo. Dr. di Girolamo is the local magistrate for Borgo San Cristoforo, in Tuscany. Still recovering from a sensational murder the previous summer, the community of Borgo San Cristoforo is now faced with the mystery of an abandoned baby and the hideous murder of a young man whose body is found in the woods. Once again, Dr. di Girolamo must search for a killer in this suspenseful new Tuscan mystery by Margaret Moore.
