An Italian Village Mystery Series: Books 1-3 (A Cozy Mystery Box Set Book 1)
By Adriana Licio
After years abroad, feisty travel writer Giò Brando returns to Maratea, seeking comfort, family, and a quieter life.
Surrounded by lemon trees, sea breezes, and the familiar scents of her sister’s perfumery, she rediscovers the beauty of home on Italy’s dramatic Mediterranean coast and the close-knit village she thought she’d outgrown.
In this first box set of the Italian Village Mystery Series, Giò steps back into the rhythms of small-town life… until murder shows up, as uninvited as a storm on market day. As she reconnects with her nonna, her roots, and herself, she’s drawn into three intriguing cases that will test her courage… and her heart!
This volume includes three full-length cozy mysteries packed with twists:
Murder on the Road:
A woman dies when a rockfall crashes onto her car, but was it really an accident? Freshly heartbroken and newly back in Maratea, Giò finds herself at the center of a murder investigation. To clear her name, she must follow village gossip through her sister’s perfumery and dig into secrets someone is desperate to keep buried.
A Fair Time for Death:
The Chestnut Fair brings life and colour to the village of Trecchina, until a corpse appears in the woods… and vanishes just as quickly. To solve the mystery, Giò digs into a web of secrets, where even perfumes may hold deadly clues.
A Mystery Before Christmas:
A haunting melody. A grieving widow. A child who shouldn’t know what she knows. Giò must race to uncover a decades-old secret in time for Christmas Eve. But some ghosts aren’t ready to rest…
As danger weaves through the alleys of Maratea, Giò begins to realise that starting over isn’t just about where you are, but who you choose to be.
***
If you love T.A. Williams’s sun-drenched mysteries, M.C. Beaton’s delightful suspense, and Rhys Bowen’s smart, spirited heroines, you’ll love this box set that blends intrigue, family, and a sassy sleuth you’ll want to follow wherever she goes.
Dare you begin Giò’s unforgettable journey?
