In Aramezzo, murder is always on the menu. For chef Stella Buchanan, America feels very far away.

Now she has a regular café haunt, talks to neighbors who were strangers only six months ago, and nobody looks twice at the one-eared cat trotting at her heels. The only people in Aramezzo who haven’t welcomed Stella are the Durants— the American family who own the opulent Villa delle Acque.

When a masquerade ball at the villa turns into a deadly disaster, Stella’s friends rope her in to catch the killer. But with a web of clues more tangled than tagliatelle, Stella isn’t sure if she’s found a lead or just served dinner to a murderer.

To make matters worse, her heart is torn between the handsome police officer she was too quick to reject, and the rugged soccer player convalescing from an injury. And one of them could be the killer.

. .

As each group of guests throws accusations at the other, Stella must cut through the confusion to unmask a murderer. Can she serve up the truth before the culprit escapes?Unmasked in Aramezzo is the third book in the Murder In An Italian Village series by Michelle Damiani.
