Murder in an Italian Piazza (A Bria Bartolucci Mystery)

Synopsis

The sea, sunshine, and sleuthing have given Bria Bartolucci a new lease on life since her husband&’s passing, and her southern Italian B and B is running as smoothly as her love life. But, just like the Amalfi Coast, some relationships can be rocky—and some can be downright deadly . . . After solving a couple of murders, Bria is now known in the village as the &“Italian Miss Marple,&” which could cause problems in her budding romance with the local police chief. But for now, all of Positano is abuzz with the homecoming of a star now that Carlotta Incantaro, a famous opera diva, is coming out of retirement to make one last public appearance. Not all the locals are happy about Carlotta&’s return and Bria soon begins to hear stories about the singer&’s petty past. She destroyed one woman&’s music career and tried to sabotage her rival&’s chances in a beauty pageant. With Carlotta staying at her bed-and-breakfast, Bria learns firsthand just how high-maintenance and demanding the woman can be. Even though Carlotta&’s loyal pianist tries his best to smooth things over by blaming her nerves on her daughter&’s upcoming wedding to a former soccer player, Bria senses something is terribly wrong. And once again, Bria&’s right. Carlotta&’s swan song is just the beginning of the drama—after the performance, a dead body is found in the piazza. Bria is quickly drawn into a tragedy worthy of any opera, uncovering a family&’s darkest secrets and deadly passions . . .
