A Villa in Sicily: Olive Oil and Murder

I was in the mood for something light, and I found just the book with Fiona Grace's A Villa In Sicily: Olive Oil and Murder (#1,321), the first in her new Cats and Dogs Cozy Mystery series.  It helped that the opening chapters were set in Boston where I happened to be visiting!

Audrey Smart is a young, single veterinarian working in an upscale animal practice in Boston's Back Bay.  She's sick of playing second fiddle to the male members of the practice, and explaining to her patient's "parents" that she is a real doctor.  She doesn't have much of a social life, so when her high school crush contacts her about meeting up at their class reunion, Audrey hopes things are beginning to look up.  They don't.  When the rent on her tiny broom closet apartment doubles overnight, what is to stop her from buying a gorgeous-looking villa in Sicily for $1?  She's got nothing to lose by entering the bidding lottery.  Audrey is shocked when her bid is accepted immediately because they need her as a vet in the small village where her chosen property is located.

When she arrives in the remote mountain village of Mussomeli, nothing is as she imagined - it's way, way worse, especially when her neighbor across the way with a fabulous renovation underway accuses her of murder.  Can Audrey solve her way out of this one?  (Yes, she can!  Because there are at least 5 more books in this fun series.)  Find out how she does it.
