Silence is golden …unless you’re permanently hushed up.

When Lillian Johnson was found dead one hot summer day, no one in the town of Bradley, North Carolina was all that surprised.  Lillian had always talked about the trials of her various health problems and was sure to share with everyone exactly how much she suffered.

The townspeople were only slightly more surprised to discover that Lillian had been murdered. That’s because Lillian, like most folks, had a dark side. And a fair number of people had experienced this dark side.

Myrtle Clover, octogenarian sleuth and intrepid reporter, investigates Lillian’s death to discover precisely who hushed her up. . . before someone else is permanently silenced.  (Amazon)

A haunting Christmas song from a faraway land. A child with striking green eyes. A man with no past.

When elderly widow Mrs De Blasi catches sight of eight-year-old Betta Giordano, all she can see is the face of her son, Marco. But how can this be? Marco died tragically young, many years before Betta was born.

Travel writer Giò Brando can’t help but be intrigued by the string of coincidences connecting Betta to the De Blasi family. Why does the child bear such a strong resemblance to a long-dead man? How does she know an ancient tune from the remotest parts of Britain? And why does the carillon that Mrs De Blasi gifts to Betta play that very same tune?

In the busy run up to Christmas, the wealthier families of Maratea are gripped by fear. A spate of thefts has seen them losing their most treasured possessions, and with panic edging towards hysteria, Brigadiere Paolo Rossi has his work cut out to solve the mystery before the townspeople take the matter into their own hands.

Will Giò and Paolo between them be able to ensure it’s a happy Christmas for everyone in Maratea?

Fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey and M C Beaton will love this heart-warming festive story, the third in the An Italian Village Mystery series. Delve into the pages of The Mystery Before Christmas and breathe in the delicious scents and flavours of a Mediterranean December.  (Amazon)
