Review: Murder in Siena

Murder in Siena by T.A. Williams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dan Armstrong and his girlfriend are having a long weekend break with Dan's friend Virgilio and his wife. However, their romantic break is ruined when one of the delegates at an international environmental conference being held in the same hotel is found dead in the hotel grounds. Initially it looks as though the death could have been caused by wild wolves that roam the local countryside, but the medical examiner soon discovers that the wounds were caused by a broken bottle. Our victim was quite the Lothario and it seems that he has been very friendly with more than one of the delegates, at this conference and in previous years. He was also overheard having an altercation with one of the other delegates about plagiarism - could either of these be a motive?

Dan and Virgilio are roped in by local police to help with interviewing the delegates, many of whom have flown into Italy for the conference which was being held in English, but trouble could be brewing between Virgilio and his long-suffering wife.

Then there's a second murder, and a third. But the clues are pointing in multiple directions.

Without being too spoilery, I thought the explanation for the murders was a bit torturous, but I enjoyed this nonetheless.
