Loved, loved, loved the travelogue and the food descriptions ( ) Synopsis: Faith and Tom are in Italy, sans children, to go to a cooking school and enjoy some 'alone time'. They meet a charming man who is a travel writer who directs them to some lovely sites that many tourists don't see. Unfortunately, they also witness his murder. The participants in the cooking school aren't what they expect either; all of the students seem to have secrets that may or may not have anything to do with their friend's murder. Review: Long on food and short on mystery, this story is interesting, but not a page-turner. The descriptions of the foods did cause me to make a few notes, but without these descriptions the mystery was a short-story. Faith and her husband, clergyman Tom, after years of sermons for him, salads and sauces for her, and sporting events for their children, are finally able to get away by themselves for a relaxing and romantic second honeymoon in Italy. Faith's former catering helper Francesca has opened an Italian cooking school in the hills of Tuscany, and has asked Tom and Faith to be among her first guests. Naturally, the Fairchilds become embroiled in a murder mystery before they even get out of Rome to head for the hills. As all of you who have read the series know, Faith can't leave this one alone, but unlike previous stories, the mystery really takes a back seat to the food and Italian scenery. The recipes while not over-whelming in number are, as always, mouth-watering. The characters are a rather eclectic assortment of odd-balls who don't always meld as a group. Faith has always known when NOT to try to solve something on her own, but during this story, I often wondered if she had forgotten all about the poor dead Freddie. It took her awhile, but Page finally managed to wrap everything up like a big fat well sauced canneloni. Overall, it's another delightful episode in the peripatetic career of Faith Fairchild, girl snoop. The setting is one that makes the reader want to book a flight to Italy immediately. If only Francesca's hostel were real and affordable. In the meantime, we can drift away in a wonderful dream of what might be. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
