SHE LEFT NO NOTE, Lake Iseo Italy Mystery 1, by J. L. Crellin
See the book on Amazon.com
Can we really know the ones we love? An intriguing tale of mystery and self-discovery with the peaceful beauty of Lake Iseo in Italy as a background.
Duncan is devastated by the mysterious death of his brilliant and beloved wife Caterina. When he returns to her family villa on the shores of Lake Iseo, where they first met, he is assailed with doubts about the woman he idealized for so long.
Duncan, helped by Emma, an inquisitive and enterprising real estate agent, and Mark, his troubled 24-year-old grandson, uncovers a web of secrets, at the same time beguiled by the cuisine, picturesque landscape and tranquil lifestyle of the farm above the villa.
But can Duncan trust the taciturn Gioro and good-natured Monica, or are his new friends deceiving him?
It's a mystery but a relaxing one, which centres on how the two main characters come to terms with a difficult situation, but with a touch of prosaic humour from Emma, who helps them. The book is well-written and independent reviews have been positive.
