Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 22, 2014
Book 3 in the Mina's Adventure Series.  If you haven't read books 1-2 ( Love Thy Sister and Bosom Buddies)...go get them now.  Maria Grazia Swan has written each of these books so they may be read as stand alone books but the colorful history you will garnish from books 1-2 will greatly enhance your reading of Italian Summer.  Being from Italy herself, Ms Swan paints such a vivid picture of Italy is this book that I swear I felt as though I was there with Mina, sharing in her adventure. A some what broken Mina, returns to her homeland to try had heal her heart (from the sorrow of a tragic loss and lost love) Mina once again finds herself involved in an inescapable mystery behind the bizarre deaths of several people in her tiny hometown.  Again, Maria Grazia Swan has written a book with such twists, turns and romance that I had to keep turning the pages to see what happened next.  I absolutely love Maria Grazia Swan's writing style and was so happy to hear that Mina will be on yet another adventure in Book 4 Ashes of Autumn due out the end of 2014. To tied me over until then, I started the Lilla York series by Maria Grazia Swan. Book 1 Gemini Moon...another slam dunk. Go get it...AFTER you finish finding out what happens with Mina in Italian Summer.
