Death in Aramezzo

Small villages keep big secrets.

Welcome to the picture-perfect Italian village of Aramezzo, where secrets are hidden among cobblestone alleys, and danger lurks in the tangled vineyards.

Chef Stella Buchanan, a rising star of the Manhattan restaurant scene, has come to Aramezzo to revive her family's abandoned bed-and-breakfast. But when her first guest dies under mysterious circumstances, Stella must use her culinary skills to uncover the truth of what happened before she herself comes under scrutiny.

Plus, to Stella’s chagrin, the property comes with a belligerent cat.

With a quirky cast of characters—from a quippy trash collector to an eccentric bookstore owner to a burly cop with a penchant for historical romance—Michelle Damiani's eagerly awaited debut cozy mystery, Death in Aramezzo, will keep you guessing until the very end.

Can Stella discover the bitter truth before the town's buried secrets claim another victim?

“Travel to Itay—no passport needed!”
