Nabb wrote children's fiction and crime novels until her death in 2007.","brand":"Soho Crime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305265844453,"sku":"NP9781569472965","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781569472965.jpg?v=1730759933","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/a-florentine-mysteryisbn-9781569472965","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
