"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: OLIVE OIL AND MURDER is the debut novel 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, is a brilliant vet-yet fed up by her demanding clients who think they know more than her and who don't care about their animals. Burnt-out with the endless hours, she wonders if the time has come for a new direction. And when her 15th year high school reunion (and her hopes for re-sparking on old flame) end in disaster, Audrey knows the time has come to make a change. When Audrey sees an ad for a $1 home in Sicily, it captivates her. The only catch is that the house requires renovation, something she knows little about. She wonders if it could be real-and if she may really be crazy enough to go for it. Can Audrey create a life and career-and the home of her dreams-in a beautiful Sicilian village? And perhaps even find love while she's there? Or will an unexpected death-one that only she can solve-put an end to all of her plans? Are some dreams too good to be true? 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) Books #2 and #3 in the series-FIGS AND A CADAVER and VINO AND DEATH-are now also available!.… (plus d'informations)

Audrey Smart is a veterinarian at Back Bay Animal Care in downtown Boston. Audrey is passing the time by scrolling on her phone while using public transportation to her 15th high school reunion. Wait! Did that picture of a beautiful Italian villa in Sicily really say it was $1? It may be time to make a change, take a risk.
We've all viewed advertisements on social media encouraging a move to various locales with breathtaking photographs and requirements that sound simple enough to manage. But have you ever known anyone that threw caution to the wind and took the risk? It was such a lark to read the beginning of Audrey's adventure.
This was a fun cozy to read! The humor is great, with the opening lines setting the entertaining tone.
" Being a vet meant dealing with a lot of strange creatures. Not the patients."
The best surprise was the animal that became Audrey's little charmer and sleuth partner.
I don't recall reading a cozy with a veterinarian as the main character. Many main characters have a friend that is a veterinarian or sleuth partner or is the romantic spark for the sleuth, but this was a first for me, and I loved it. Sicily has long been a travel dream, so until it comes true, I'll spend more time with Audrey and enjoy her adventures. ( )
