Murder Under the Tuscan Night

Could it be?
This book kept me at the edge of my seat... or pillow, depending on what time of day I was reading. It was an easy read, but yet gripping and almost to much to believe. I must know, is this truly fact, or fiction? If you look at page 3, you see a note that reads ...
