Not the Best Time for Murder

Christmas is not the best time for crimes—there’s a sense of magic in the air. But the murder of an elderly writer in a small Tuscan village seems to open the doors to evil, and then another, and a third… Everything starts spinning like a kaleidoscope: murders that don’t have connections to one another, art-dealing scams, a fan circle of an eccentric padre, and an old millionaire who has slipped into dementia. In the end, the mosaic will come together into a single picture—connections and secret intentions will become visible… But this time, Alexandra can only watch from the sidelines; she can’t solve the riddle. Maybe it’s time to give up adventures? Or maybe it’s magic—after all, the candle of a ghostly astrologer is flickering on an old bridge! But the festive atmosphere won’t go anywhere, and neither will holiday traditions and Florentine Christmas recipes. And snow will bury Florence—that happens once every ten years.
