There\u2019s nothing quite like finding a new crime drama to lose yourself in, and with Acorn TV you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice. From gripping whodunnits to supernatural thrillers, the streaming service offers new shows weekly, and it doesn\u2019t get much better than its latest offering, Signora Volpe.<\/p>\n

The series follows Sylvia Fox (Emilia Fox, Silent Witness), an attractive and intelligent woman in her 40s, who, to the casual observer, appears to lead quite the unremarkable life. When asked about her work, she answers with vague references to an unspectacular career in the Civil Service. Which is only very slightly true \u2013 because until recently, Sylvia was a high-ranking British spy.<\/p>\n

When she arrives in Italy for the wedding of her niece Alice, Sylvia is disillusioned with her job at the MI6 headquarters in London and in need of a break. But when the bridegroom disappears, leaving a dead body in the lake at the bottom of his garden, Sylvia quickly takes it upon herself to solve the mystery.<\/p>\n

Despite the unpromising start to her holiday, Sylvia is enchanted by Umbria, the green heart of Italy, and is surprised and pleased to find herself reconnecting with her estranged sister Isabel, who lives in the handsome hillside town of Panicale. So, when she stumbles upon a beautiful, derelict old house, Sylvia decides to buy it, quit her job, and start afresh.<\/p>\n

Sylvia wasn\u2019t cut out for a quiet life, however, and she soon finds herself involved in a fresh mystery each week \u2013 from the disappearance of a young woman a quarter of a century ago, to the theft of a truffle pig, and a blackmail plot against the son of a Russian politician. At first, Carabinieri Captain Giovanni Riva (Giovanni Cirfiera, American Crime Story) resents the former spy\u2019s interference, but it isn\u2019t long before he begins to seek her help \u2013 and it seems his interest in Sylvia may not only be professional\u2026<\/p>\n
