Shake off the winter blues and head off on a virtual vacation to Florence, Italy.  Carlina Ashley is the owner of a luxurious lingerie store in the center of Florence.  She sells a unique kind of pantyhose that don’t run. Pricey, yes, but what woman wouldn’t kill for something like that?  But in this book, it’s a question of what person WOULD kill WITH something like that, because the hose become a murder weapon and everyone who has a connection to the shop (employees, Carlina’s family and her customers) is suspect.  Top of the list is the store’s owner, Carlina herself, who is also in a good position to uncover a few clues on her own.  Of course no mystery would be complete without a dashing Commissario to aid the amateur sleuth. Then add a family of crazy Italians and this book is three parts mystery to one part romance and then gently seasoned with a dash of humor.  A great read.Although this is the 2nd in the Temptation in Florence book, I accidentally read it first.  I give the author props for doing a great job of introducing returning characters so I didn’t feel like I was missing something.
