"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: CAPERS AND A CALAMITY is book #4 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, has made a major life change, walking away from her life as a vet (and from a string of failed romances) and moving to Sicily to buy a $1 home—and embark on a mandatory renovation she knows nothing about. She finds herself busy running the town’s new shelter, while also renovating her own problematic home—and dating again. Audrey’s reputation is spreading, and she is asked to travel to other parts of Sicily to help other towns with their animal problems. When she journeys a short ferry ride away to the beautiful Aeolian Islands, Audrey thinks she has found paradise—until a rival vet makes her life hell—and an unexpected murder pins her as the main suspect. Can Audrey clear her name, salvage her reputation, and find the true killer? 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. “The book had heart and the entire story worked together seamlessly that didn't sacrifice either intrigue or personality. I loved the characters - so many great characters! I can't wait to read whatever Fiona Grace writes next!” --Amazon reviewer (regarding Murder in the Manor) “Wow, this book takes off & never stops! I couldn't put it down! Highly recommended for those who love a great mystery with twists, turns, romance, and a long lost family member! I am reading the next book right now!” --Amazon reviewer (regarding Murder in the Manor) “This book is rather fast paced. It has the right blend of characters, place, and emotions. It was hard to put down and I hope to read the next book in the series.” --Amazon reviewer (regarding Murder in the Manor)

Listened to this one for #52BookClub2024 summer reading challenge. Book set in a country that won gold in Olympic Women‘s Volleyball.

I liked this second book in the series more than the first. I‘m glad I continued with this quick, fun book. Audrey has opened her vet clinic (with some help from friends) while still working on refurbishing her $1 Sicilian home.

Fun, quick read. Audrey is asked to come to the Island of Lipari and help with their stray problem. As she‘s making progress, she comes under the wrath of the local ver, who is murdered just a few hours after their confrontation. Of course Audrey is the lead suspect and must clear her name so the police will let her go home.

So glad to get back to this series; I love the characters in this small Sicilian town trying to revitalize itself by $1 homes. However, I was ready to murder Mimi Catalano long before she was dead. Audrey discovers the body and then tries to resolve the mystery of the murder even as she looks for the owner of the stray dog at the murder location.
