A Fair Time For Death - Paperback

The annual Chestnut Fair brings visitors from far and wide to the sleepy village of Trecchina. This year, one will be coming to die.

The moment Vanda Riccardi makes the grisly discovery in the forest, a blow to the head knocks her cold. By the time rescuers find her, the corpse is gone. Did she really see it? The carabinieri are sceptical, but her friend Gi Brando - travel writer and reluctant amateur sleuth - is determined to believe her.

As Gi and Vanda delve deep into the past to unravel the mystery - a past that someone won't hesitate to commit murder to keep hidden - in the perfumery run by Gi 's sister, Agnese, three very different customers are destined to choose the same scent - one with a disturbing backstory. Will the perfume reveal its secrets in time to prevent Vanda and Gi from becoming the killer's next victims?

Fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey, M C Beaton, and lovers of Italy, will delight in this cosy mystery set against the dramatic backdrop of the Mediterranean coast. Dare you drop in to Agnese's shop to find out what the perfumes say about you?
