Can murder be the cure for a broken heart?

Returning to her quaint hometown in Italy following the collapse of her engagement, feisty travel writer Giò Brando just wants some peace and quiet. Instead, she finds herself a suspect in a brutal murder.

Anxious to clear her name, Giò embarks on her own investigation, eavesdropping on the gossip in her sister's perfumery and the cafés of Maratea as she pieces together the evidence. But something about the case isn't adding up. Or is Giò allowing her attraction to a fellow suspect to distract her?

Wanting to distance herself from danger, Giò keeps her feelings in check. But when new evidence turns the whole case on its head, danger is exactly what is waiting for her.

Murder on the Road is the first book in the compelling and heartwarming An Italian Village Mystery series.
