1. An Anxious Aunt
Date available on Acorn TV: Monday, May 2nd 2022 | IMDb rating: none yet.
Plot: Sylvia Fox goes to Umbria for the wedding of her niece, Alice. But the groom, Tommaso, disappears, leaving a woman’s body in the lake at the bottom of his garden. Drawing on the skills she’s acquired as an MI6 operative, Sylvia investigates, and discovers that Tommaso has a very shady past, working for criminal boss Richelmo Gregori – the brother of the dead woman. Sylvia survives an ambush by Gregori and is on hand to save Alice and Tommaso in a dramatic climax. She delivers Gregori to handsome Carabinieri captain Giovanni Riva – and decides to begin a new life in Italy.
2. Secrets & Sacrifices
Date available on Acorn TV: Monday, May 9th 2022 | IMDb rating: none yet.
Plot: Sylvia helps out on an archaeological dig at the Castello di Monterosa, and finds a skeleton buried in a shallow grave. The locals are convinced it’s that of a teenage girl who disappeared twenty-five years ago, and that she was murdered by a recluse who still lives nearby. Riva thinks so too, but Sylvia is less sure. Her investigation uncovers a story of dark secrets, domestic abuse, and heroic sacrifice. The village welcomes back three lost women – one living, one dead, and one represented in a precious Renaissance portrait. And Sylvia’s relationship with Riva crosses the boundary from professional to personal.
3. Truffles & Treachery
Date available on Acorn TV: Monday, May 16th 2022 | IMDb rating: none yet.
Plot: When Sasha Pavlenko, the son of a Russian politician is arrested in Rome for the murder of a fellow-student, Sylvia’s ex-husband and ex-colleague Adam asks her to investigate. Sylvia has another important case in hand – the kidnap of a truffle pig – but reluctantly agrees. Sasha is bailed into Sylvia’s custody, and she discovers that he and Mario, the victim, were lovers. Sylvia uncovers a nasty blackmail plot gone wrong, but is shocked when she discovers that Mario’s killer is someone she knows well – or thought she did. The pig is found safe and sound, and returned to her grateful owner.
