"A classic stranded on an island with a murderer loose mystery. When Ruby and Fina are invited to Renzo Carnevali's private island they are delighted since Renzo is a famous shoe designer and they want to learn more about this aspect of fashion. But they also know he wants them for something else, but are unsure exactly what that is.When Renzo's mistress is found dead in the swimming pool, it becomes obvious that the anti-fascists have a traitor in their midst. But who? As more people die, Ruby and Fina keep digging deeper into the mystery and find themselves close to being victims themselves. With more twists than a bowlful of spaghetti, The Mystery of Ruby's Stiletto is a delightful read with just enough between-the-wars history to add to its authenticity."
