"Murder Italian Style is an utter delight to read, with writing as bubbly as prosecco and crisp as a breadstick, and more twists than a fork of twirled pasta. Diane Vallere is an absolute master at blending suspense and humor. Traveling in bella Italia with the endlessly entertaining Samantha Kidd is like taking a road trip with your bestie. Viva, Omicidio all'Italiana! I mean, Viva, Murder Italian Style!" --Ellen Byron, Agatha Award-winning and bestselling author
COZY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS…
When style expert Samantha Kidd plans a holiday in Italy, she expects scenic piazzas, endless pasta, and maybe a little romance—not a murder mystery older than her passport. Samantha’s idyllic vacation comes to a screeching halt when a favor for her host pulls her into a decades-old mystery and lands her in more hot water than her morning espresso.
The case? The murder of Alfredo, the town’s most hated man. The suspect? Pasquale, a mild-mannered shoemaker who has spent decades in prison for the crime. The twist? Samantha’s host should have been Pasquale’s alibi—if she hadn't left town that night to start invasive cancer treatments in Switzerland.
Armed with her quick wit, a love for gelato, and the undercover help of her shoe designer husband, Samantha will need all the luck she can muster to solve the crime and make it through her getaway alive.
Murder Italian Style is a sparkling mystery for anyone who loves their whodunits served with a side of laughter and linguine. Settle in with a glass of prosecco—this is one vacation you won't forget!
