We are trying to find a book for a patron, but we don't have much to go on
... the patron thinks the author is Italian and the last name begins with
"M," and the story is about a family living in a fictional seaport city in
the northeast; it could be part of a series. Any help will be most
appreciated! Thanks!

Merle,

I have no idea if this is it because the author is not Italian nor does
her name begin with M. The second book in the series takes place in
Seacrest along the Atlantic and the family's name is Pancoast. The title
is The Doctor makes a DollHouse Call and as mysteries go, I didn't care
for it. But, perhaps this is the book you seek.

Merle,

Revere Beach Boulevard, Roland Merullo is the first book in a proposed
trilogy. The book covers the life of Peter Imbesalacqua and his extended
Italian family during the period of a few days. Could this be it?

Thanks, Donna! I think you found the right title, Revere Beach Boulevard
by Roland Merullo. Now, we're trying to contact the patron to see if this
is the one!! I have been on this list only six months, and twice you
wonderful people have come through with that obscure title just when we
needed it ... you all are the best! Thanks again!
