As strange as this is going to sound, I really enjoyed this book. I say it's strange because Carolyn was even more obnoxious than usual. And one of the perspectives the story is given from is someone who isn't too impressed with her. It made Carolyn more human to me.
I didn't give it a perfect score because Ms. Fairbanks was really heavy on the descriptions of the various sites. It's good for creating a mental image, but I thought it was a bit much.

a culinary mystery set in Italy with recipes.
If you enjoy traveling and different types of
foods along with recipes then you'll enjoy this book.
One of a mystery series featuring "forty-something homemaker" Carolyn Blue who has embarked on a new career as a food writer. Includes food history and recipes.

Typical of the cozy mystery genre. Includes recipes for some tasy Italian dishes. Not one of my favorite cozy mystery authors, but was a satisfying read

Food writer finds mystery and mayhem in Sorrento, Italy. A couple of good recipes, too.
The story was very well crafted and held my attention until the end. However I didn't really care for the changing back and forth between characters as the narrator. I did like the descriptions of the area and the history tid bits thrown in. I will read more in the series.
Great series with travel and recipes
