But when you live a long life, you're bound to make a few enemies. And when those enemies come calling, you have to rely on friends. Faced with an assassin seeking revenge for a decades-old grudge, Captain Murino has no choice but to turn to Maria, who must use all her neighborly resources, clever faculties, and web of connections to save him from his perilous predicament.
On the other side of the island, a second mystery begins to unfold from the deathbed of another of Maria's old friends, when he hands his granddaughter a yellowed map and tells her of a treasure to be found in one of Ischia’s secret caverns, known as the Magician’s Cave. There are traps and pits. There will be others with sinister motives who will do all they can to make the treasure their own. But this map is a guide—the only gift he has to give. When the granddaughter needs help cracking the code, she turns to her grandfather's most trusted Nonna Maria.
From battling foes in medieval castles to exploring the notorious caverns where smugglers hid their goods, Nonna Maria and her friends—some old, some new—embark on their most swashbuckling adventure yet.Journey of a Booksellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11319199515790408080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326077277326825621.post-15472267115163104242024-03-16T08:00:00.023-06:002024-03-16T08:00:00.475-06:00A Mystery at Lili Vilby by Arathi MenonCousins Arj, Tam, and Mira are spending their summer vacation in Elathoor, a little village in Kerala when their family home, Lili Villa, is broken into and some jewelry is stolen.

That is until the attorney delivering the news warns that it’s a ramshackle house, basically worthless, and worse, she’ll need to travel to the small lakeside town to take ownership and claim her great aunt’s remains.
Still, Evie’s never known family besides her parents who’ve now passed, and she feels obligated to carry out the woman’s final wishes. But when Evie arrives in Honeysuckle Springs, things aren’t as she imagined. Mostly because she didn’t expect to come across a murder victim within hours of her arrival nor learn that she’s also the owner of a mischievous cat who seems happy to vex her. Evie does her best to maintain a low profile so she won’t become a suspect in the case, but the handsome police chief won’t stop watching her.
Little by little, the town’s and her family’s shocking secrets are revealed. The question is, will they lead her to the killer? Even more, will they convince her to remain in Honeysuckle Springs?

A popular tourist destination, Anglesey is a vibrant, modern community surrounded by the unpredictable and perilous ebbs and flows of the Irish Sea, providing the perfect backdrop for DI Manx’s troubled soul.
Gruff, smart, and dogged, DI Manx beats to the rhythm of his own drum but struggles with personal demons which have haunted him since the mysterious vanishing of his sister, Miriam, thirty years ago; a cold case that remains unsolved.
Although born on the island, Manx left at the age of seventeen, eventually joining the Metropolitan Police in London. Thirty years later, after a botched investigation derails his career, Manx is back on Anglesey. To say he’s unhappy at this turn of events would be an understatement.
With a taste for cheap cigars, expensive Scotch, and driving a 1974 Jensen Interceptor, Manx is an eccentric but gifted detective with more than a dash of cynicism and a caustic wit.
