Summary
The first time he picked up his telephone and didn't hear Joan or one of the other ladies greet him, he just rolled his eyes, assumed they were cross with him, and firmly asked for the shop he was trying to connect to into the receiver like normal. He even said please! And the thing about being a being of considerable occult power with a history of shaping parts of the universe is that, sometimes, the world bends to oblige you.
So, the only thing that surprised him about Fell answering the line in response to his demand for "an expert on ancient greek and roman preparations of oysters" was that they'd made long-distance calls considerably less bothersome at some point.

Crowley is a big fan of technology but has zero idea how it works, which leads to him developing an unlikely friendship with a fussy bookseller who happens to be an expert on a miraculous number of subjects.

Summary
Robin Buckley is an heiress to the classical romance and mystery author Duilio Lombardo and his wine estate in southern Italy. His death is a shock to the family and the many who stay at the estate in the small town of Edetrio— and his final wish to publish a biography causes a group of three journalists from midwest America to crash the party. The lead journalist, Nancy Wheeler immediately catches Robin’s eye, though focused instead on writing the biography on the man who never told his story. Lombardo has left a trail of clues to tell his life story— and Nancy and Robin spend their Italian summer uncovering his treasure hunt— and uncovering their own feelings.
