She came to Tuscany for olive oil secrets. She discovered a recipe for murder.
Food blogger Sophie Brooks has traded California wine country for the rolling hills of Tuscany, where she's documenting traditional olive oil production at the De Luca family's centuries-old agriturismo. Between learning ancient harvesting techniques and savoring authentic Italian cuisine, Sophie thinks she's found the perfect peaceful retreat to heal from her recent divorce.
But when patriarch Marco De Luca is found dead among his beloved olive trees in what police call a tragic accident, Sophie's investigative instincts kick in. The ladder placement is wrong, Marco's walking stick is missing, and threatening text messages suggest someone wants the truth buried deeper than the olive roots.
As Sophie digs into the family's secrets, she uncovers a web of land disputes, international conspiracies, and deadly rivalries stretching back generations. A ruthless developer wants the De Luca property for reasons that go far beyond luxury resorts. When Sophie's ex-husband Ryan arrives unexpectedly with his own agenda, and her romantic interest Nate flies in from California to help, Sophie must navigate both her complicated love life and a murderer's deadly game.
From traditional harvest festivals to hidden mineral deposits, Sophie races to expose the truth before she becomes the next victim of a killer who will stop at nothing to claim the ancient olive groves.
Olives & Obsessions is the second book in the Sophie Brooks Mysteries series. If you love international settings, culinary traditions, and amateur sleuths with a taste for justice, you'll be hungry for this Tuscan mystery.
Escape to Italy where every meal tells a story and every secret has deadly consequences.
