What is Emilia Fox's Signora Volpe about?
For those unaware, Signora Volpe is a crime drama which follows Sylvia (portrayed by Emilia), an intelligent woman who, until recently, was working as a spy for the British government. As the synopsis explains, Sylvia arrives in Italy for the wedding of her niece Alice after being "disillusioned" with her job at Mi6 HQ in London and is after a much-needed break.
"But then the bridegroom disappears, leaving a dead body in the lake at the bottom of his garden, and Sylvia takes it upon herself to solve the mystery and save Alice from disaster."
Sylvia then ends up quitting her job and staying in Umbria, Italy. But, despite trying, she finds herself not living a quiet life, and takes on a string of mysteries to solve.
