Italy, a country known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and delectable cuisine, is also home to a plethora of captivating mysteries. One such enigma that has intrigued both locals and tourists alike is the Fair Time For Death in an Italian village, a puzzling event that has left many baffled.

Located in the heart of the beautiful Italian countryside, the small village of Montefico has a population of only a few hundred residents. Although peaceful and idyllic for most of the year, every decade or so, something strange happens during the village fair.

The fair, a traditional affair where locals and visitors gather to celebrate, suddenly turns into an unusual spectacle filled with suspense and intrigue. The village fair, usually known for its vibrant atmosphere, joyful music, and delicious food, takes a darker turn during the aptly named "Fair Time For Death."

During this event, the village becomes a mysterious ground where crime and secrecy intertwine. Nobody knows who will be the victim or who will be the perpetrator. The whole community is on edge, waiting for the unexpected to unfold.

While the fair takes place, a series of clues and riddles are planted throughout the village. These clues lead participants on a wild goose chase as they try to unravel the secrets of this perplexing event. The fair becomes a battleground of wits, with participants racing against time to solve the mystery before it's too late.

Local legends say that the Fair Time For Death dates back centuries, originating from an ancient curse cast upon the village by an embittered witch. According to the curse, every ten years, the village will bear witness to a death during the fair, as a reminder of the witch's wrath. The fair then becomes a twisted homage to this mysterious curse.

Authorities have tirelessly investigated the Fair Time For Death, but no concrete evidence has ever been found. Some skeptics believe that it's all an elaborate hoax, carefully orchestrated by the villagers themselves to attract tourists and bring attention to their otherwise tranquil village.

However, many villagers vehemently deny these claims, stating that the fair is indeed a unique and unexplainable event. They speak of eerie occurrences, unexplained phenomenon, and strange happenings that suggest something otherworldly is at play.

During past Fair Time For Death events, various theories and rumors have emerged. Some claim that a secretive cult uses the fair as a cover to carry out their rituals, while others believe it to be the work of a psychopath with a penchant for deadly games.

Regardless of the true origin and nature of the Fair Time For Death, it has become an event that draws thrill-seekers from all over the world. Visitors come to Montefico in hopes of experiencing the adrenaline rush of solving a real-life mystery while immersing themselves in the beauty of the Italian countryside.

The village fair, which would otherwise be a simple celebration, now captivates the imagination of adventure enthusiasts and amateur detectives. Participants eagerly sign up for the Fair Time For Death experience, ready to test their detective skills and brave the unknown.

As night falls on the village fair, the atmosphere becomes electric. Participants are armed with just a handful of clues and their intuition, as they navigate through the darkness, trying to connect the dots and find the solution to the enigma that engulfs Montefico.

As the clock ticks, the tension rises, and the participants find themselves entangled in a web of lies, red herrings, and unexpected turns. Every step feels calculated, every whisper holds a secret, and every encounter is laced with a sense of danger.

While the Fair Time For Death remains an unsolved mystery, it continues to captivate the minds of those who dare to witness it firsthand. The village of Montefico stands as a testament to the power of legends and the allure of the unknown.

So, if you're seeking an exhilarating adventure, like no other, make sure to experience the Fair Time For Death in Montefico. Prepare to be immersed in a world of enigma and suspense, where truth and fiction intertwine, and the line between reality and imagination blurs.

Remember, though, that the Fair Time For Death isn't for the faint of heart. Only those with a keen eye, a sharp mind, and nerves of steel can hope to unravel this Italian village mystery.

The annual Chestnut Fair brings visitors from far and wide to the sleepy village of Trecchina. This year, one will be coming to die.

The moment Vanda Riccardi makes the grisly discovery in the forest, a blow to the head knocks her cold. By the time rescuers find her, the corpse is gone. Did she really see it? The carabinieri are sceptical, but her friend Giò Brando – travel writer and reluctant amateur sleuth – is determined to believe her.

As Giò and Vanda delve deep into the past to unravel the mystery – a past that someone won’t hesitate to commit murder to keep hidden – in the perfumery run by Giò’s sister, Agnese, three very different customers are destined to choose the same scent – one with a disturbing backstory. Will the perfume reveal its secrets in time to prevent Vanda and Giò from becoming the killer’s next victims?

Fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey, M C Beaton, and lovers of Italy, will delight in this cosy mystery set against the dramatic backdrop of the Mediterranean coast. Dare you drop in to Agnese’s shop to find out what the perfumes say about you?

A Fair Time For Death is the second book in the compelling and heartwarming An Italian Village Mystery series set in Maratea a quaint sea town in the south. Beware – the book is written in British English with a smattering of Italian here and there.
