About this ebook

Let bestselling author T.A. Williams whisk you away to gorgeous Tuscany in this gripping murder mystery featuring a retired DCI and his loyal canine companion who gets up to all kinds of doggie mischief!🐶 It really is murder in paradise!

A picturesque scene... 🍇

As grape harvest season rolls around, retired DCI Dan Armstrong and his beloved canine companion, Oscar, are looking forward to a nice quiet September. But when Dan is contacted about a mysterious death out in the Tuscan Hills, it seems that work must come before pleasure.

A suspicious find... 🔎

At first it appears that the body found lying outside a prestigious winery has been the result of a tragic hit and run. But then the police discover that this is a cover up for murder...but who would kill in such an idyllic spot and why?

A face from the past? 😎

As Dan investigates, he meets famous ex rock star, Digger, owner of the winery and prestigious Podere Dei Santi hotel. Digger’s guests include wealthy businessmen, tourists, and, among them, suspected mafia hitmen. But more significant for Dan is a face he knows only too well from his own past and he soon finds that wine isn't the only thing fermenting around him.

Could this murder be the start of a gangland war, or do the killer’s motives lie much closer to home? Will complications from Dan's past return to trouble his future? Either way, Dan and Oscar must work around the clock to solve another mystery.

🍇🍷Luxury setting for murder & mischief🌄 I am a committed fan of this series, first for the Italian setting, and second for the down to earth main character & his whimsical black lab "partner" Oscar. Dan Armstrong retired from the British police force and moved to Tuscany to start a new chapter, originally as a mystery writer; he certainly is kept occupied with police business. Writing is easy to follow & plot had some nice twists to keep me guessing. Oscar, ever by Dan's side, ever amusing!

I flip-flop on this series, sometimes it feels like cosy mystery by numbers and I began to suspect that making the books available on Kindle Unlimited might be an incentive to just churn them out in a formulaic fashion. However, I really enjoyed this book, the reveal of the murderer was a result of painstaking interviews, picking up on clues, reinterviewing witnesses etc. The plot was plausible and overall probably my favourite in the series. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
