J.D. Griffo writes the Alberta Scaglione Mystery Series which starts in July 2018 and is set in New Jersey. It features Alberta Scaglione whose spinster aunt left her a secret lake house in Tranquility, New Jersey. Alberta, a widow, is no spring chicken and she’s gotten used to disappointment. So having a beautiful view, surrounded by hydrangeas, honeysuckle, and her cat, Lola, sounds blissful after years of yelling and bickering and cooking countless lasagnas.
