Murder in the Tuscan Hills: It's murder in paradise! A BRAND NEW brilliant cozy mystery from bestseller T A Williams for 2025 by t a williamsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dan and his faithful Labrador Oscar are called in by the Italian police when an English journalist is found murdered in a vineyard owned by an aged American rock star. The rock star owns the swanky Podere Dei Santi hotel near the vineyard and there are a number of non-Italian guests which Dan's friends in the local police force would like his help in interviewing.
Not only are there three 'gentlemen' and their bodyguards who look suspiciously like Mafioso, there is also a Anglo-Italian restauranteur, a French wine merchant, the surly vineyard manager, and numerous other suspicious characters, but it is the restauranteur's companion who causes Dan the greatest surprise.
Whilst Dan and the police are still searching for a motive for killing the journalist, the body count mounts - can they uncover who did what and why?
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.
