Shadows on the Lake by Giovanni Cocco

The lake in the title is gorgeous Lake Como, in northern Italy, and the shadows emerge from a dark past when a body is discovered beneath a mountainside hut. This is the first in a translated Italian mystery series that entertains with its charming investigator, food, historical references, and its beguiling setting. Also, it doesn’t hurt that there is a little romance in the air!
