0.50 And Then There Were Bones
A Murder Mystery weekend on a Calabria island. Sounds like fun. Or… maybe not?
When feisty travel writer, Giò Brando, receives an invitation to join her long-time friend on an island in Calabria for a Murder Mystery weekend, she is excited by the prospect.
To run away from the grey London weather for a while; to escape her stubborn fiance – and even better, her mother-in-law-to-be – meet her family in her Italian hometown by the sea, and enjoy the Murder weekend with some celebrity guests sounds too good to be true.
In fact, some of the guests are just as temperamental as you would expect from celebs. But when one mysteriously disappears, another gets stabbed in the library, a third plummets from the rocks…
Gosh, what’s happening?
Is a madman trying to repeat the Ten Little Indians Saga or there’s a method to this madness?
As the storm ravages the island, cutting it off from the mainland,
Giò has very little time to find out what is going on and save herself as well as the surviving guests from certain death.
1. Murder on the Road
Can murder be the cure for a broken heart?
Returning to her quaint hometown in Italy following the collapse of her engagement, feisty travel writer Giò Brando just wants some peace and quiet. Instead, she finds herself a suspect in a brutal murder. Anxious to clear her name, Giò embarks on her own investigation, eavesdropping on the gossip in her sister’s perfumery and the cafés of Maratea as she pieces together the evidence. But something about the case isn’t adding up. Or is Giò allowing her attraction to a fellow suspect to distract her? Wanting to distance herself from danger, Giò keeps her feelings in check. But when new evidence turns the whole case on its head, danger is exactly what is waiting for her. * Murder on the Road is the first book in the compelling and heartwarming An Italian Village Mystery series. *If you want a taste of Mediterranean village life, take a bite of this tasty treat, now! . Beware – this book is written in British English with some Italian popping in here and there. *
2. A Fair Time for Death
The annual Chestnut Fair brings visitors from far and wide to the sleepy village of Trecchina. This year, one will be coming to die. The moment Vanda Riccardi makes the grisly discovery in the forest, a blow to the head knocks her cold. By the time rescuers find her, the corpse is gone. Did she really see it? The carabinieri are sceptical, but her friend Giò Brando – travel writer and reluctant amateur sleuth – is determined to believe her. As Giò and Vanda delve deep into the past to unravel the mystery – a past that someone won’t hesitate to commit murder to keep hidden – in the perfumery run by Giò’s sister, Agnese, three very different customers are destined to choose the same scent – one with a disturbing backstory. Will the perfume reveal its secrets in time to prevent Vanda and Giò from becoming the killer’s next victims?
3. A Mystery Be for Death
A haunting Christmas song from a faraway land. A child with striking green eyes. A man with no past.
When elderly widow Mrs De Blasi catches sight of eight-year-old Betta Giordano, all she can see is the face of her son, Marco. But how can this be? Marco died tragically young, many years before Betta was born. Travel writer Giò Brando can’t help but be intrigued by the string of coincidences connecting Betta to the De Blasi family. Why does the child bear such a strong resemblance to a long-dead man? How does she know an ancient tune from the remotest parts of Britain? And why does the carillon that Mrs. De Blasi gifts to Betta play that very same tune? In the busy run up to Christmas, the wealthier families of Maratea are gripped by fear. A spate of thefts has seen them losing their most treasured possessions, and with panic edging towards hysteria, Brigadiere Paolo Rossi has his work cut out to solve the mystery before the townspeople take the matter into their own hands. Will Giò and Paolo between them be able to ensure it’s a happy Christmas for everyone in Maratea?
4. Peril at the Pellicano Hotel
A group of wordsmiths, a remote hotel. Outside, the winds howl and the seas rage. But the real danger lurks within. When travel author and part-time sleuth, Giò Brando, joins a writers’ retreat in Maratea, her quaint sea town, the last thing her companions are expecting is for the spiteful author who ruined their previous meeting to turn up uninvited. And the last thing Giò is expecting is to find that same woman lying dead on the restaurant floor the following morning. At first, it seems the author’s death was the result of a tragic accident, but Giò suspects there’s more to it than meets the eye. What happened to the manuscript the victim had been working on? What was the mysterious business deal she was in Maratea to close? With her fellow writers all having reason to lie to the carabinieri, Giò desperately sifts their stories for clues. But could the key actually lie in a tragic tale from long ago?
