[Franki Amato Mysteries 6.5] • Mirto Magenta

Franki's island investigation is no walk on the beach!

To escape a hellish New Orleans summer, PI Franki Amato takes a dream job in Sardinia’s Gulf of Angels. Her ex-stripper landlady, who referred her for the investigation, says it’s a simple case that will leave time for a seaside vacation. But when Franki arrives in Italy, her hopes of fun in the sun fade like a tan in winter. Nothing and no one are what they seem, and clues point to murky goings-on at the site of a submerged Roman city. Will Franki find the culprit and get her slice of beach heaven? Or will dark forces on the island send her to a watery inferno?

Mirto Magenta is book 6.5 in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be read as a standalone story. If you like zany characters and laugh-out-loud humor with a splash of suspense, then you’ll drink up this fun series by USA Today Bestselling Author Traci Andrighetti. Cin cin!
