Olives and Obsessions. Sophie Brooks Mysteries, #2

In Tuscany, the oldest secrets press hardest. Food blogger Sophie Brooks arrives at the De Luca family's agriturismo in Montepulciano to document something simple: the olive harvest, the ancient press, the food traditions that have survived everything Europe has thrown at them. She finds that - and a dead patriarch, a buried wartime journal, and a conspiracy that stretches from a Tuscan grove to international boardrooms.
Marco De Luca was eighty-three years old and knew something that got him killed. The authorities ruled it an accident. Sophie doesn't believe them. As the harvest festival approaches and the men who silenced Marco begin circling the farmhouse, Sophie must decode a decades-old secret hidden in the De Luca land - one involving wartime mineral rights, a development syndicate with no ethical floor, and a family who has been protecting the truth at enormous cost.
When threats escalate from warnings to danger and a child goes missing, Sophie publishes to fifty thousand readers and hopes the truth moves faster than the men trying to bury it. Olives & Obsessions is the second book in the Sophie Brooks Culinary Mystery series - richer, higher-stakes, and set against the most beautiful backdrop the series has visited yet. Perfect for fans of Italian cozy
