In Nonna Maria and the Case of the Stolen Necklace, we see 70-year-old widow Nonna Maria dealing with two mysteries.  The first is the murder of an unidentified woman, found by the side of a road, and the second is an accusation of theft made against Nonna Maria’s goddaughter, Loretta.

In this episode, Lorenzo also opens up about his transition from gritty urban crime novels to charming mysteries featuring Nonna Maria.  We also get great Italian travel recommendations, plus a sneak peek into his upcoming book, Nona Maria and the Case of the Lost Treasure.  Stay tuned for book recommendations, future projects, and insights into the art of storytelling.
