"A Journey to the Boot of Italy, With Murder, Romance and Ricotta ... By Page 53, I put the book down, but not for long. I simply had to go online and search for flights to Italy... Here, Sicily shimmers off the page, utterly enticing - azure waters for swimming, hunky Italian chefs ... I enjoyed Piazza's twisty narrative and complicated characters, especially her contemporary women, who are strong and feisty - not so different from Updike's lost, lusty Rabbit. It was a joy to read about Piazza's heroines loving hard, eating well and blowing themselves kisses in the mirror." -The New York Times

"[T]he stories are inextricably bound, most effectively through the way Piazza writes about the universal experience of what it means to be a woman and a mother. Fans of historical fiction, women's fiction, and mystery novels will be equally dazzled." -Kirkus (starred review) More
