Death In Bagheria (A Serafina Florio Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
She opened the door, reached into the desk for what was left of the one Genoveffa had given her on Wednesday. Plunking herself into her mother’s favorite chair and untying the twine, she opened the paper and stared at the two additional volumes in her hand. At the same time, she opened her notebook to the entry she’d scribbled describing the baroness’s reaction to “Naldo’s agony.” She had four journals to read, three found in Doucette’s possession and the one Genoveffa had given to her. Thumbing through all four books, she noticed that the baroness filled each volume in a little less than three months. That was consistent with the total number of journals they’d found, since the baroness had lived at Villa Caterina for eleven years, from 1857 to September 1868 when she died. All books were bound the same and appeared to have the same number of pages. Each one began with the month and year. Seldom did the baroness write the exact date, and many entries had no date, but because the baroness wrote from front to back, Serafina could easily approximate the date of each entry.
