N2  - "When a crime on a beautiful Italian island stumps the police, locals turn to the nosy, elderly widow Nonna Maria in this transporting mystery from author Lorenzo Carcaterra.

Everyone knows her, and she knows everyone's business. So when something goes wrong, islanders look to her, and not the local carabinieri, to find the solution. A man's fiancé disappears the night before the wedding. Is it a case of cold feet, or is something more sinister in play?

While the police appear uninterested in these domestic concerns, Nonna Maria pours herself another glass of red wine and gets to work"--
