Murder at the Duomo by TA Williams #Review #ArmstrongandOscarMystery

 


Even angels can have a dark side...

As the sticky heat of August settles over Florence, Dan Armstrong is ready for a well-earned break—sightseeing with fiancée Anna, daughter Tricia and her fiancé Shaun. But when a British man is found dead inside the city’s magnificent Duomo, Dan’s plans quickly change.

The victim, Tristan Angel, is a super-wealthy arms dealer with a saintly name and a devilish reputation. But what was he doing in the cathedral, and who decided to make it his final confession?

At Angel’s opulent villa in the hills of Fiesole, Dan and Commissario Virgilio encounter a colourful cast of suspects—each one hiding secrets and none too eager to talk. As tempers rise and the heat outside grows ever more intense, Dan and his four-legged sidekick, Oscar, must sniff out the truth before the killer strikes again.

 My Thoughts

 With an Armstrong and Oscar Mystery, you are always sure of a carefully plotted story with several red herrings and alternative possibilities. This cozy crime series is always true to its characters and with each one, you feel you get to know Dan Armstrong a little bit more. Dan's daughter is featured in this story as she stays at his villa and introduces her fiance. There is a lot of talk about weddings and Dan's own forthcoming marriage is discussed as well.

    There is plenty of detail in this story with several characters to examine. Most of the action takes place in Florence in one villa which the visitors are unable to leave. As ever, Oscar has a big part to play in the investigation and is welcomed by the Italian police as well as the reader! This series is an endearing whodunnit, full of the sights and sounds of Italy and offers an entertaining read for any of Trevor's many fans.

In short: cozy crime feast
