Murder in Chianti by T A Williams #Review #ArmstrongandOscarCozyMysteryBook2

 

 Having loved the first of TA WilliamsMurder in Tuscany, I was delighted to see the second in the  Armstrong and Oscar Cozy Mystery series, Murder in Chianti. It was published on January 27th by Boldwood Books. 

 
Murder in broad daylightā€¦

When millionaire magnate, Rex Hunter is found with his head bashed in on the eighth hole of his prestigious golf and country club in beautiful Chianti, itā€™s a clear case of murder. Hunter was rich and successful and the envy of many, so retired DCI Dan Armstrong thinks the case will be a hole in one to solveā€¦.

A despised victimā€¦

But as Dan and his trusty sidekick Oscar begin to dig deeper into Hunterā€™s lifestyle, they discover a man despised by many. A renown womaniser, ruthless boss and heartless family man, it seems no one is particularly sorry to see Hunter dead. And the list of possible suspects is endlessā€¦

A murderer covering their tracks.

Dan is determined to catch this clever killer, but it seems every new lead brings another dead end. Will this be one case Dan and his canine companion wonā€™t solve?


 My Thoughts

The second in the series has all the hallmarks we saw in the first. The gorgeous Tuscan scenery dominates and Dan Armstrong is the Englishman abroad. He observes, charms, judges and deduces. Oscar, the lovely Labrador, plays a part in the story and I love their partnership.

    You are presented with a whole range of suspects as to who is behind Hunterā€™s death. Right up until the very end, you are deducting alongside Armstrong. I enjoy a cozy crime story and find this series to be so appealing. As Armstrong settles into his new life, you canā€™t help but wonder what he will do next and who he will befriend. 

In short: a Tuscan whodunnit
