Murder in Siena by TA Willams #Review #ArmstrongAndOscarCozyMysterySeriesBook4

 

I was delighted to see the next in the  Armstrong and Oscar Cozy Mystery series, Murder in Siena by T A Williams. It was published on August 1st by Boldwood Books. 

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

A lazy weekend in the country…

Dan Armstrong and the new love of his life, Anna, are heading to a hotel deep in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside for a long weekend, looking forward to some time away from the stresses of their day jobs. With the beautiful and historic city of Siena just around the corner, it promises to be relaxing and enjoyable. What could possibly go wrong?

A mutilated body…

But when a mutilated body is discovered in the hotel grounds Dan is called in to help with the investigation. But who or what could have been responsible for such a vicious attack? Was it the work of wild animals, or is there a brutal murderer at large?

A killer who cried wolf?

Dan knows he is dealing with a clever killer – whether whether two- or four-legged! And as he sets out to solve the case he begins to worry about his own loyal canine companion. Could Oscar be in more danger than any of the other hotel guests or is a murderer trying to cover their tracks?

It's another case for Dan and Oscar to solve!


 My Thoughts

In the fourth in the series, Dan Armstrong finds himself on a break in Siena. Set in self-contained hotel, you have the perfect setting for a locked room murder story. The suspects are many and there are plenty of red herrings. With a full and varied cast of characters, Dan Armstrong has his work cut out to sort out the clues. As murder follows murder, you are right there alongside him, trying to work out 'whodunnit'.

    Accompanied by some familiar faces, including his gorgeous black labrador, Oscar, Dan finds himself thinking back over the sacrifices he made for his career in his personal life. He is determined to try to stop his friends ending up with the damage to their marriage which he ended up with. I thoroughly enjoyed this read, especially with the setting and the wolves who were out and about nearby. As a holiday read, this would be the perfect escape.

In short: murder, mayhem and wolves...
