There is short start to corpse, there is long start to corpse, there is Agatha Christie start to corpse and then there is this book. While the murder occurring at around 50% mark can work, here it made the whole investigation - and the solution that followed - seem to be very rushed and unsatisfying. That said, the main characters and their story arcs were quite nice, the area was described in a bit idelized and romanticized but still delighful way and the story flowed quite nicely, with me not
A really good start to the series. This is a very well written story line. I very much liked Oliva and her friend Charlotte. I also like the love interest Marcello. The mystery though wasn't much to it. There didn't seem many clues to lead you to the suspect. That being said it was an easy quick well written book that I enjoyed a lot.
Starting as a meandering tale ends up an engaging and entertaining plot with lotsa twists. A comfy sofa and a cozy blanket is all that is, otherwise, needed. Pleasantly narrated.
This book focuses on the story of an American woman, who after being dumped by her boyfriend and generally unhappy with her work and life , decides to take a break and go to Tuscany to pursue her dream – which is to open her own small vineyard and produce her own wine. In the midst of that, a murder takes place and she needs to clear her name as she is the prime suspect.I am struggling whether this is a 1 or 2 /5 book. It has some positives, but not much. Well, let’s list them!Prons: Easy to rea...
Unbelievable Main CharacterHow can someone supposedly very intelligent walk into her bosses office, before an important meeting, quit on the spot and not expect repercussions? The story lost me within the first couple of chapters but I kept reading thinking it would get better. It didn’t.
Unbelievably insipid, naive, clueless heroine. Won't waste my time with the remaining books in the series.
Olivia gets a taste of winery.Olivia's world is in a turmoil. She quits her job, her boyfriend, her apartment and her country. But in Tuscany there also are doubts. She gets signs that she should stay and signs that she should go back. Being a prime murder suspect doesn't really help.This series starts a bit in the same way Fiona's other series starts, with a woman in her 30's who, after a break up, makes a job switch in a different country. But the country differs, the job differs and, of cours...
I got it because it was relatively short- 6+ hrs.It's 80% cozy and 20% mystery. Which is fine if that is what you are looking for. I wasn't, I was looking for the reverse, 80% mystery and 20% cozy, sigh. I might listen to another of the books by this author, but when I'm in a different mood.
If "Aged for Murder" by Fiona Grace is meant to be a cozy mystery book it failed. It's not either. Everything moves way too fast: the unbelievable plot, the ditzy 34yr. old main character, how does one on a whim conceive that they can do anything and be successful.This book would be a 4star rating if it would flesh out the characters and slow down the time frame. As it is the plot is like a revoling door; there's no depth to anyone character.I did like the fancy restuarant scene where our lead c...
very intriguing. I loved it.
I really enjoyed Fiona Grace's Lacey Doyle mystery series, so when I saw BookSprout had an ARC available for review, I jumped at it. It was a fun story.Olivia, after being dumped by her boyfriend and abruptly quitting her job, decided to spend two weeks in Italy with her friend, Charlotte who was vacationing there for the summer. Dreaming about a new romance as well as making her own wine (her stateside job included a marketing campaign for a wine company), she interviews for a job she saw poste...
This is first in the Tuscan Vineyard Cozy Mystery series. Our heroine quits her job in advertising when she realizes she has propelled an inferior wine into prominence. She escapes to Italy with a friend who has rented a villa in Tuscany for the summer. There she finds a job as assistant sommelier at a neighboring vineyard, and then gets involved in trying to solve the murder of the primary sommelier. She has a goal of starting a vineyard in Italy eventually. It's a fun story, but not terribly b...
