Description

"Very entertaining. Highly recommended for the permanent library of any reader who appreciates a well-written mystery with twists and an intelligent plot. You will not be disappointed. Excellent way to spend a cold weekend!"
--Books and Movie Reviews (regarding Murder in the Manor)

A VILLA IN SICILY: OLIVE OIL AND MURDER is the debut novel in a charming new cozy mystery series by bestselling author Fiona Grace, author of Murder in the Manor, a #1 Bestseller with over 100 five-star reviews (and a free download)!

Audrey Smart, 34, is a brilliant vet—yet fed up by her demanding clients who think they know more than her and who don’t care about their animals. Burnt-out with the endless hours, she wonders if the time has come for a new direction. And when her 15th year high school reunion (and her hopes for re-sparking on old flame) end in disaster, Audrey knows the time has come to make a change.

When Audrey sees an ad for a $1 home in Sicily, it captivates her. The only catch is that the house requires renovation, something she knows little about. She wonders if it could be real—and if she may really be crazy enough to go for it. 

Can Audrey create a life and career—and the home of her dreams—in a beautiful Sicilian village? And perhaps even find love while she’s there?

Or will an unexpected death—one that only she can solve—put an end to all of her plans?

Are some dreams too good to be true?

A laugh-out-loud cozy packed with mystery, intrigue, renovation, animals, food, wine—and of course, love—A VILLA IN SICILY will capture your heart and keep you glued to the very last page.

Books #2 and #3 in the series—FIGS AND A CADAVER and VINO AND DEATH—are now also available!

    Great storytelling and nice plot. The murder scene was not gory, which I appreciated, and loved the characters including the fur baby. I enjoyed it very much!

    I started reading this earlier today and have just finished it. I really liked the characters and the writing was well done. It’s a complete book without a cliffhanger ending.

    Sadly finished the 6th book last night & now keeping my fingers crossed that there will be more. Of the two Fiona Grace’s book series which I’ve read so far, Audrey, Nick-the-fox & company are my absolute favorites, —actually from any author I’ve read this summer. I’ve got my fingers & toes crossed for more in the near future. 🤞🙏

    I enjoyed this book more than I expected. The main character is willing to battle against adversity and what is her as she can with no hope of success or at least no real hope. And I love a happy ending!
