On a summer morning in 1494, the wealthy Florentine Novella family is rocked by the murder of the wife of the family scion. There are enough rivalries within the family to make anyone suspect. Only Giudetta, the household cook, dares unravel the tangled web of jealousy, intrigue, and infidelity to expose the unlikely killer.
This book was a quick read. A murder mystery set in the late 1400's Florence, it was a new place and time in history for me. Great main character in Guiditta, a cook to an upper-class Florentine merchant family. I'll look for more by this author.
