I knew it was a novella going in, but my only complaint is that I wish it were a little longer! As it was, it was fine - as a longer Ames mystery, I think the concept would've been fantastic. 2.5 stars.

A short but fun standalone Amory Ames mystery - I liked it although it was over very fast. I always forget how short Kindle Singles really are. But as I'm waiting for book three to turn up at my library (or go on a good enough offer on Kindle) it filled a little gap - and whet my appetite for more!

Three and a half stars.
Amory and Milo are holidaying on the island of Capri when Amory thinks she recognises a fellow guest at the hotel, a beautiful woman who mutters about needing help.
Amory can't help herself, she is soon tailing the woman and witnessing secret meetings with strange men, could the mysterious woman be none other than the missing opera singer alleged to have disappeared with her manager's priceless pearl headdress?
A short but enjoyable detective novella.

This was a fun short mystery, set in a lovely setting in a fun time period. I thought it would be longer and slightly more involved, but it was satisfactorily wrapped up. I'm interested in seeing more of the characters and will have to hunt up more of the series.

Still enjoying this series a lot! Only gave this one a 4 star rating because it's really just a quick tidbit of a story rather than a full book.

A sweet little mouthful but not really worth the price of purchasing it. I suppose Amory and her husband help the possible victim but I also feel like things would have turned out fine without their involvement.

A cute story, but so short, I regret spending the money on purchasing it. Having read all of the books in the series, this one didn't really contribute anything towards the series in terms of character growth or plot development.

This was a cute short mystery set in Capri. This was an easy enjoyable read while I was in Italy.
