Title: Italian Fever
Review: This book could as well have been called "Pittsburg Fever" or "Tucson Fever" for all the relation it had to Italy. Surely there are ghosts there, and eccentric families, which were the only 2 things about this book that gave it any need to be placed in Italy. I believe the author gave it that name in order to seduce people into buying it, thinking they would be reading a story that related to that fascinating country or that had some unusual plot or theme that would not be believable in another locale. This book was basically a story about a woman with no sense at all who spent her whole time in Italy, expenses paid, holed up in an uninteresting villa with a married man who virtually ignored her when they were not in the villa. Not much suspense, not much imagination, not much to recommend it. One star is one too many. Don't waste your time or believe any of the good press about this one. Valerie Martin should be ashamed.
