I'm kind of hopscotching with this series. I read book 8 last summer thanks to PPP and NetGalley and now hopped into this one on audio. Not a problem, really, because the mystery/locations/foodie stuff was more important than relationship issues. Professional multilingual translator/interpreter Rick Montoya (who is both Italian and from New Mexico) prefers to wear cowboy boots, and his girlfriend Dottoressa Betta Innocenti (an "art cop" from the Ministry of Culture) are the ongoing characters in a mystery series that made me drool with the descriptions of the foods eaten.
Rick has frequently worked with police investigators, and of the police inspectors is not new to him. His familial task regarding a much younger cousin gets tangled up in the murder investigation he finds himself involved in and things get a bit messy. The characters are all very interesting, the plot does not detract from the travelogue (it enhances it!), and the whole is absolutely delightful. Now I'm off to read more in this series!
