Regrets To Die For: From The Savino Sisters Mystery Series (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Book 2 in the Savino Sisters Mystery Series. Thirty-something sisters, Ellen and Margo Savino, discover there's more to Italy than the typical tourist destinations when they check out their family roots in the foothills of the Italian Alps, much to the dismay of their sassy grandmother Clarita. Nonnie Clarita, who now lives in St. Louis, was only eighteen when she left her widowed mother in Pont Canavese and immigrated to America after the Second World War. Why she has no regrets about leaving or never returning is a mystery Ellen and Margo are determined to resolve, with or without the obstinate Clarita's cooperation. Could it be the horrific murder of the father Clarita adored? Or the questionable suicide of Clarita's young friend and later the drowning of the boy's grieving father? Or, her ill-fated teenage romance with a persistent Resistance fighter that triggered this series of tragic events?

Fans of Italian-America sagas should enjoy Regrets To Die For, as contemporary as it is historical, and featuring several characters from Loretta Giacoletto's saga, Family Deceptions.

Autor

Loretta Giacoletto has been named a finalist in the 2015 and 2014 "Soon to be Famous Illinois Author Project" for her sagas, Family Deceptions and Chicago's Headmistress. She divides her time between the St. Louis Metropolitan area of Southern Illinois and Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks where she writes fiction, essays, and her blog Loretta on Life while her husband cruises the waters for bass and crappie. Their five children have left the once chaotic nest but occasionally return for her to-die-for ravioli and roasted peppers topped with garlic-laden bagna càuda.

An avid traveler, Loretta has visited countries in Europe and Asia but Italy remains her favorite, especially the area from where her family originates: the Piedmont region near the Italian alps.

Her novels focus on characters caught up in problems of their own doing, crime often laced with romance that may not end happily-ever-after.

FAMILY DECEPTIONS presents two generations of earthy characters who learn to thrive and/or survive through a series of misdeeds. THE FAMILY ANGEL is a saga about the Americanization of an Italian family of bootleggers, coalminers, winemakers and priests, and a mysterious black angel who sticks his nose in the family business. CHICAGO'S HEADMISTRESS, a prequel and partial parallel to THE FAMILY ANGEL, follows a 1905 Italian street urchin's notorious rise to wealth and power as the headmistress of Night School, Chicago's most infamous men's club in the 1920s.

ITALY TO DIE FOR, from her Savino Sisters Mystery Series, shows how too much togetherness can spell disaster for two thirty-something sisters vacationing in Italy. In REGRETS TO DIE FOR, BOOK 2 of the series, the sisters trace their roots to the Italian alpine village of their grandmother and learn why a teenage romance and three mysterious deaths during WWII resulted in her immigrating to America after the war. In LETHAL PLAY a grieving widow is suspected of killing her son's coach, a man with more enemies than friends. FREE DANNER features a cynical young man whose troubled past and deadly encounters hinder his search for the father he has yet to meet.

A COLLECTION OF GIVERS AND TAKERS is an anthology of twisted stories about the good, the bad, the self-centered and the disillusioned.
