Welcome to Case Closed. You're listening to every time I go on vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack, narrated by Elizabeth Evans.

Let's pick up where we left off last time.

Chapter 26. Am I about to get murdered on a minibus?

Ravelo

The only person who talks on the minibus to Ravelo is Sylvie.

She's a non-stop fount of half-information,

chattering out chipper facts about the beautiful towns that dot the coast,

Amalfi, my least favorite, Positano, colorful and expensive, and finally, at the top of a cliff,

Ravelo. And now we come to Ravelo, she says, talking through a small microphone that looks like

a CB radio from the seat next to the driver.

We're all buckled in tight because of the twisty road, but she seems unconcerned, half out of her seat and facing us.

Oliver's in the first row behind the driver with Allison, then it's me and Harper, then Guy and Emily, and Connor and Isabella way in the

back.

Ravello is a resort town, set 365 meters above the Terinian Sea by the Amalfi Coast, and is home

to iconic cliffside gardens.

The 13th century Moorish-style Villa Rufolo offers far-reaching views from its

terraced gardens and hosts indoor and outdoor concerts during the popular summertime Ravelo

Festival. Villa Cimbrone, a medieval-style estate perched on a steep outcrop is surrounded by another celebrated garden.

Oh my God, Harper says, nudging my elbow.

She's just reading off the internet now.

She puts her phone screen in front of me.
