Murder in Florence by TA Williams #ArmstrongAndOscarCozyMysterySeries #Review

 

I am delighted to be on the celebrations for the third in the  Armstrong and Oscar Cozy Mystery series, Murder in Florence. It was published on April 7th by Boldwood Books. 

 
A brand-new cozy crime series set in gorgeous Tuscany...It's murder in paradise!

A glamourous film star…

Life as a private investigator in the suburbs of Florence isn’t always as glamourous as Dan Armstrong imagined it to be, until he is asked to investigate a recent spate of violent attacks on a Hollywood movie set in Florence. The star of the show, movie-star royalty Selena Gardner, fears her life is in imminent danger…

Foul play on set…

As Dan investigates, he discovers secrets and scandals are rife within the cast and crew. But with no actual murder, Dan believes these attacks could simply be warnings to someone…until the first body is found.

A dangerous killer on the loose.

Now Dan and his trusty sidekick Oscar are in a race against time to catch the murderer. But the more Dan uncovers, the more the killer strikes and Dan finds himself caught in the line of fire too! Is this one case Dan and Oscar will regret?

A gripping new murder mystery series by bestselling author T.A. Williams, perfect for fans of Lee Strauss and Beth Byers.


 My Thoughts

Although the third in the series, this feels as fresh as ever. There is a certain amount of humour in the story which I enjoyed and of course, Oscar the Labrador is as adorable as ever. Dan is a likeable central character and you feel that you are getting to know more about him, this far into the series.

    The setting is gorgeous and Tuscany is very much at the centre if the story with some lovely descriptions. The storyline itself has several possible threads which you find yourself considering along with Dan. There are some red herrings to decipher before the truth behind the crimes emerges. This is an enjoyable read, full of interest which uses the culture of Italy to add depth to the story. Alongside the mystery, there is a gentle thread of romance which adds interest.

In short: murder amongst the Tuscan hills with a dash of romance
