Valpolicella Violet: A Private Investigator Comedy Mystery (Franki Amato Mysteries, Book 7) (Unabridged‪)‬

Franki's Venice vacation makes New Orleans seems like Disneyland....

Franki Amato is in Venice to celebrate her best friend’s Christmas Eve nuptials. She’s looking forward to a relaxing break from the PI grind and a romantic gondola ride with her Casanova. But when a chef goes belly-up after making violet risotto for the reception, her holiday plans start sinking like La Serenissima. 

Dead set on finding the killer and saving her BFF’s wedding, Franki navigates the city’s streets and canals, which are darker and more twisted than catacomb tunnels, and all while the ghosts of past and present are quite literally haunting her. She has to figure out what grave robberies and an 19th-century nun have to do with the murder and decipher a string of clues as murky as the Venetian lagoon - a candlelit coffin, a jeweled cross necklace, and a bottle of Valpolicella. Will Franki get her gondola ride? Or will she, too, become a phantom of Venice?

Valpolicella Violet is Book Seven in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be listened to as a stand-alone. If you like zany characters and laugh-out-loud humor with a splash of suspense, then you’ll drink up this fun series by USA Today best-selling author Traci Andrighetti. Cin cin!
