Overview
Nonna Maria has a lot on her plateāand itās not just fresh pasta. Two crimes have rocked the sun-drenched island of Ischia, and once again the islandās denizens have called upon the espresso-brewing, sage-counsel-giving sleuth.
A wealthy woman alleges that a valuable necklace has been stolen from her hotel room. She blames one of the young women working on the cleaning crew as the most likely suspectāa young woman who turns out to be Nonna Mariaās goddaughter. Loretta takes the heat, but privately she proclaims her innocence.
Nearby, the body of a woman is found on a curved road near the borough of Barano. The woman is not known to anyone on the island. She has no purse, carries no identification. The one suspect is a young friend of Nonna Mariaās who drove by the area that very night and thinks that he might have hit somethingāa pothole, or an animal, or maybe the woman in question.
It turns out that this woman had a decades-old history on Ischia, but why did she return, and more important, who killed her? Itās up to Nonna Maria to string together the cluesālike the links of the beautiful missing necklaceāand solve these two mysteries before death comes to Ischia again.
