Set in a nineteenth century Sicilian village, this is the second in Susan Russo Anderson's Serafina Florio Mysteries. These mysteries follow a widow, Serafina, who fell into solving mysteries with the added bonus of receiving a "stipend" for a skill she and the local authorities found she was very capable at.Susan has a gift for easy-flowing dialogue, well-researched visuals in all her secenes in this sharply-written, page-turning mystery. There was just enough, but not too much backstory to confuse and overwhelm the reader, which I appreciated. At just over a hundred pages, this fine, easy-reading mystery finishes up nicely with a perfect twist at the end to satisfy any mystery lover.
