This month's book:
Nonna Maria & the Case of the Missing Bride by Lorenzo Carcaterra
Nonna Maria has lived on Ischia, an island in the Gulf of Naples, her entire life. Recognizable by the widow's black, she's worn every day for decades; she always has pasta on the stove and espresso in the pot for the neighbors who stop by to ask her advice on life and love. Everyone knows her, and she knows everyone's business. So, if something goes wrong, islanders look to her, not the local carabinieri, to find the solution. When a recently engaged woman confesses that she's afraid her fiancé, a stranger to Ischa with a murky past, might not be who he seems, Nonna Maria helps her disappear so she can investigate the true nature of her betrothed.
