Critics Review
“Wagner’s fifth series entry provides his usual deft mix of art, travel, and suspense.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Wagner’s fifth series entry provides his usual deft mix of art, travel, and suspense.” * Kirkus Reviews *“This is a book for armchair travelers as much as it is for mystery lovers.” * Publishers Weekly *”…the many details of meals that Rick enjoys on his trip are a highlight, as are the author’s appended notes on the food and wines of the area…” – Henrietta Verma * Booklist *“Following Return to Umbria, Wagner’s fifth series outing features a likable amateur sleuth who carefully analyzes other people. Rich in details of the food and culture of Italy’s Lombardy region, this atmospheric mystery will be appreciated by fans of Martin Walker’s French-flavored “Bruno” mysteries. Readers of Frances Mayes’s Under the Tuscan Sun may enjoy the colorful descriptions.” – Lesa Holstine * Library Journal *
