      Dotsy Lamb and her friend Lettie are on a tour of Italy when the most hated member of their tour group, Meg Bauer, is murdered in her Florence hotel room. Suspicion runs rampant but soon falls upon her sister Beth, who has a number of reasons to kill her. But another death soon has Dotsy poking her nose where she should not and the reader trying to guess who did it. A nicely written traditional mystery. Hudgins lives in Hampton, VA.

      January 14, 2009: Although I was skeptical after the first few chapters because I was mildy confused, once I got into the book and all of the characters....It was a very enjoyable book. Delightful to read!

      May 25, 2007: Dotsy Lamb, history professor and recent empty nester, and her best friend Lettie decide to go on a tour of Italy. When they arrive, they find everyone is pleasant except for Meg Bauer, a very obnoxious woman. She is such a contract from her two younger sisters who are also on the tour. When Meg is found murdered, everyone is a suspect, especially her sister Beth. The attractive carabinieri captain, Marco Quattrocchi, is in charge of the investigation. Dotsy hooks up with him to try to help solve the murder. She also enlists the aid of Lettie who is very observant. Dotsy uncovers lots of motives since she insulted almost everyone in the tour group. The sisters and brother, who is back home, have inherited a nice sum of money. When another tour member dies, it appears to be an accident. Dotsy believes it is another murder and sets out to prove it. Can she prove it before anyone else dies, namely herself? I really enjoyed this book. Dotsy and Lettie are such great characters. I can't wait to see where they go in their next adventure. I hope there will be many books in this series. I loved the Italy setting as well as I've never been there, but I felt I had been there by the time I finished reading this book. The author did a great job with the characters, setting and plot. I highly recommend this book!
