5.0 out of 5 stars (13)
Violetta Pelicani, massage therapist in Grado, Italy shortly after WWI, meets a young man at almost the same instant she learns her favorite uncle is dead. Suspicion of murder arises, and the two work together to prevent Vi from being accused. Though she has helped her uncle run his gelateria, she expects to gain nothing from his death, but she has already gained an admirer in John.

John Baxter is in Grado to assist his brother’s travel home from a military hospital. John, or Gianni, as Vi calls him, is immediately smitten with Vi and wants to help her, while enjoying her company and her gelateria’s gelato, but will sleuthing get in the way of sampling the famous spumoni?

Writer of history about Italians set in Europe and the Pacific Northwest.

As a story-attentive being, curiosity is a big influence in my writing life. Following my curiosity, while at home or while traveling, has led me to develop many story ideas that I cannot wait to share with you. I love writing about the past because of the rich historical detail that I'm drawn to when I research. The past has a way of making sense of what's happening in the modern world, allowing us to feel we're not alone in going through today.

As a content architect by day, I like to think I shine as a storyteller by night, when writing my historical mystery tales by moonlight or candlelight. Recently, as a community historian, I've written the first book in Arcadia Publishing's IMAGES OF AMERICA series about early Italian settlers in the Pacific Northwest. For more stories about Italians in the PNW, be sure to subscribe to my free Substack: tessafloreanowritings.

In other news, I am a dual Italian-Canadian citizen residing in Puget Sound with a husband and freeloading purrball as companions. Fan of pens + notebooks, strong tea, the Salish and Adriatic Seas, and all things Italian, PNW, & Canadian.

    5.0 out of 5 stars History, romance, & murder in one delightful tale that keeps you guessing.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book, set in 1920 Grado, Italy ticks all the boxes for cozy mystery lovers, historical scholars, and hopeless romanctics. Tessa Floreano guides the reader through the streets of her story with an authenticity that paints a perfect picture of the era. Her characters are fun and consistent and the surprising romance in the middle of tragedy is the cherry on top of this delectable whodunit.

    As an avid romance reader who only occassional dips into mystery, I found the story engaging and the romance swoon-worthy. Plus, I learned a whole lot about Italy and 1920 in the process. Definately worth a read.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the book! Though it was a murder mystery, it was a light and engaging read. I appreciated the immersion into the local Italian culture, from the food to language to climate descriptors. I had my hunches and was gladly proved wrong; the clues were cleverly and subtly strewn throughout the book. Looking forward to the author's next books!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Slain Over Spumoni is Delicious
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    Mamma mia! Here's a mystery treat for readers to savor. Delight in vivid sights and sounds of old Italy of 1920, review a line up of suspects rivaling the luscious variety of gelato flavors at the gelateria, and even possible discover amore. It's shortly after World War I in Grado, Italy and Violetta Pelicani helps her favorite uncle run his iconic, flavorful gelatos. The world is looking hopeful as the War ends, then Violetta's dear uncle is found dead, under very troubling circumstances. Violetta investigates and discovers if you go looking for trouble, it may find you. Now she's concerned about the police accusing her of the murder, as a result of her sleuthing. Throw into the mix a handsome visiting American attracted to Violetta, but with secrets of his own. Now you see the mysterious allure to read Slain Over Spumoni.
    Violetta is a massage therapist working at a spa. Her uncle, Zio Fabri is poisoned after visiting the spa. Once alerted, the police cast a wide net, and she is in it too. As she struggles to prove her innocence, she meets John Baxter who is visiting from America. There is an aura of mystery about him, and he is vague about why he is in Italy. One thing is clear though, he is smitten from the moment he meets Violetta. Feelings are mutual, but does he have ulterior motives? Time will tell.
    If you savor a mystery, this one sizzles with extra garlic. The romantic duo are hot on the trail of clues, analyzing motives, and deliberating on suspects' alibis. They're hopping all over town, and never seem to have the time to introduce John to the renowned spumoni from the gelateria. The promise of a savory dish of spumoni, and of a sweet romance swirl around the mystery of who poisoned Uncle Zio. And what will happen if Violetta discovers John's secret?
    Author Tessa Floreano has created an engaging, exciting mystery with characters you'll love. Woven into their intense situation is such a wonderful humor that absolutely delights. The sweet romance brings a beautiful accent of amore, and an added dimension to this tight plot. The historical setting is so well researched by the author, it leaps off the pages as facts are skillfully woven into the story so seamlessly. Pacing of the plot is artful, and the final reveal is very well written. Will the visiting American ever get the chance to indulge in the amazing spumoni, and share a dish with the love of his life? There's more than one way to be Slain Over Spumoni.

    Slain Over Spumoni
    When Violetta’s Uncle is found dead, the police look at her for his poisoning as it happened while he was using her services at the spa she works at. With the help of an American who is in town to bring his injured brother home after the war, the two of them begin looking for who killed her beloved uncle. The two have their work cut out for them, but what will the find? A murderer? Death? Maybe even love?

    This is the first time I have seen this series and read this author’s works, but I greatly enjoyed it. It was a quick and fun read that satisfied this cozy lover! I will visit the earlier books in this series as I wait for more to come.
