The Mystery of Villa delle Ginestre

Mystery

A maze of secrets, a neurotic family, an inspector full of surprises. And a shadow moving among the shadows.

Greta Sullivan is nine years old and has one question on her mind: what color is the face of a dead person? On the train she’s traveling on, headed to Villa delle Ginestre, her grandparents’ country house, there’s also Shakespeare (no, he’s not a relative), an inspector full of muscles and scars. The two meet very quickly when someone commits a bold theft at the Villa and Greta sees the milky face of a ghost. What really happened? One thing is certain: at Villa delle Ginestre, everyone is hiding secrets. But everything changes when the Villa’s gardener, Alex McKennon, is murdered. A simple theft case turns into a tangled murder mystery. And Greta, who was investigating the mysterious ghost on her own, disappears…

  • A yellow-tinged novel with a curious ghost that makes the story unusual and fun.
