Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to study abroad in Italy? College student Gina Campanello is excited to find that she absolutely needs to take a three-week course offered in Orvieto, a small town near Rome. She realizes that it will be a tall order to study so much grammar in a short period of time, but she’s up to the challenge!

Learning Italian is one thing. Sharing a microscopic apartment with a chatterbox is another. After Gina finds a peaceful garden outside a wine and cheese shop, she makes friends with Tony, a fellow Italian American who is running the place for his uncle. Tony becomes Gina’s local guide to everything around town, including the best cafés and shops. He knows the history of the town and most of the gossip.

But nobody avoids making enemies, including Tony’s uncle. When his rivals work to overthrow the shop, Gina dives into the action, learning more about friendship, loyalty, and revenge than she ever expected to.

Create your own study abroad session by joining Gina in her latest travels!

A morning jog, an unlocked door, and an angry lover add up to murder!

After Dervla’s boyfriend abruptly breaks up with her, she’s ready to kill him! His own grandmother and great-aunt are furious and applaud Dervla for throwing his stuff out the window. The next morning, however, Emil is wrongly accused of murder. The police are sure he’s guilty, so they can’t take time to investigate. The nanas call Dervla. She doesn’t want to investigate either, but once the elderly women accidentally trigger Dervla's other-worldly powers, she chases after the real murderer.

D.R. Ransdell lives in sunny Tucson but grew up in Springfield, Illinois, under the shadow of the third largest carillon in the U.S. This led to her travel novel, Carillon Chase. Her moonlighting in a mariachi group led to a series about violinist Andy Veracruz. In Brotherly Love he confronts his biggest challenge so far: teaching high school students! D.R.’s newest mystery, Party Wine, takes place in her cousins’ small village in Northern Italy. The villagers make their own wine, but why do they store it instead of drinking it?
