Murder Under the Tuscan Sun by Maureen Klovers
An idyllic retreat in rural Tuscany seems like the least likely place for a murder.... Rita Calabrese is a lover of all things Italian-especially the food. So she is overjoyed when Sal, her normally oh-so-unromantic husband, proposes a second honeymoon at a villa in Tuscany. For two weeks, she'll get a respite from her hectic life as a reporter, sleuth, and mother and be able to just lounge by the pool, traipse through vineyards and olive groves, and gorge on gelato and tiramisu. Then Rita meets a suave Italian art crimes detective convinced that the villa is the epicenter of an antiquities trafficking ring, and her romantic getaway becomes a working vacation. As she quaffs glorious vino and learns to roll pici pasta by hand, Rita sizes up the other guests. Ostensibly, they have gathered for the nuptials of Alessandro and Giovanna, the Romeo and Juliet of the Italian archaeology world. But is one of them also a criminal mastermind? When the villa's owner is found dead in an ancient Etruscan tomb, Rita begins to wonder if something even more sinister is afoot. Plunging into an investigation filled with star-crossed lovers, bitter professional rivalries, long-buried secrets, and fabulous food, Rita finds that Italy never loses its ability to amaze. Featuring delectable, authentic Italian recipes for caponata, pear and almond tart, peaches with mascarpone, and moreMaureen Klovers is the author of Hagar's Last Dance, the first in the Jeanne Pelletier mystery series, as well as In the Shadow of the Volcano: One Ex-Intelligence Official's Journey through Slums, Prisons, and Leper Colonies to the Heart of South America. She lives with her husband, Kevin, her daughter, Kathleen, and their black Labrador Retriever, Nigel, outside of Washington, D.C. She was a former student of belly dance.
