Title: Not a pleasant 'excursion'
Review: There were some interesting facts in the book---- mostly about Italian cuisine and a bit about Italy. The rest of the book was a cross between a simple mystery and slapstick humor of the vaudeville variety. And the book never figured out which it wanted to be. I finished the book simply to find out whodunit and even that seemed to be added on at the last minute with no build-up. Mish-mash is the best description.
