Retired opera diva Monique Dubois came to the island of Ischia for four days of a lemon festival, an old friend, and the best view in the Bay of Naples-with her disapproving black cat Kahlusha in her travel basket and no intention of having an opinion about anything.
Then Tommaso Terranova takes the first glass of his own limoncello, as a century of tradition demands, before six hundred witnesses. He is dead before the ambulance can reach the piazza.
Seventy-one years old. A bad heart. A father who went the same way. The island calls it what it wants to call it, and the festival goes on.
But Monique was four metres from the platform, and she saw what nobody else was placed to see. He tasted it. He held it. And he was not surprised.
You do not take that long to be certain unless you already suspect something.
The wrong man is arrested within a week, and the island exhales-because it is tidy, and because nobody has to look at anybody. Monique begins asking a question that has waited sixty-three years for somebody from outside to ask it.
Not who wanted him dead. But what an entire island had agreed-quietly, kindly, and for the best of reasons-never to say out loud.
Every one of them was protecting somebody. That was the problem.
The Limoncello Legacy is a sun-drenched, dryly witty fair-play mystery about inheritance, silence, and the terrible cost of a kindness kept too long. Every clue is on the page-and this time, the truth lies closer to Monique than she is prepared to see.
Includes Rosa's traditional limoncello method, presented in Monique's own words.
Book Four of the Monique Dubois Mysteries: a new country, a new dish, and a new impossible crime. Each book stands entirely alone.
