Please note: This is a novelette, not a full-length novel.
Lucy scrimped and saved to attend a Tuscan writers’ retreat. Now that she’s arrived, life has begun to imitate art as, one by one, her fellow guests succumb to the dastardly fates described in a novelist’s latest manuscript.
Now Lucy must unmask the killer…before she becomes the next victim.
Studying for the SAT or ACT doesn’t have to be so hard.
Our brains are wired to learn through stories, yet most modern fiction fails to introduce the full range of words students are expected to know.
That’s where Erica Abbett’s vocabulary-boosting fiction comes in.
With more than 80 potential SAT and ACT words woven seamlessly into the narrative, Death at the Villa Tarconti builds your vocabulary the natural way: through context, curiosity, and a story you’ll actually want to finish.
'LOVED IT'
"I would read Erica's stories even if they didn't improve my vocabulary, but I'm ecstatic that they do. Her books are so fun, and this is no exception. What's not to like about a short and sweet mystery in Italy? Answer: nothing. It's adorable. Loved it."
