About this audiobook

Don't miss a BRAND NEW instalment in the page-turning Armstrong & Oscar Cozy Mystery series by bestselling author T.A. Williams. Gorgeous Tuscany, a gripping murder mystery featuring a retired DCI and his loyal companion, Oscar.🐶 It really is murder in paradise!

A holiday island...

When private investigator, Dan Armstrong, and his girlfriend, Anna, are invited to the gorgeous island of Elba for a much-needed break, he jumps at the chance. The thought of sun-drenched shores makes Dan promise Anna he won't “play detective” for a whole week...

A luxury hotel...

Their luxurious hotel, with its wonderful food and picturesque seaside views, seems the perfect escape, especially with Dan's best friend Virgilio and his wife joining them. But the calm shatters with a sinister encounter and a sudden, suspicious death...

A decades old case...

Virgilio’s past connection to the victim casts a long shadow, pulling Dan into a decades-old case. But beneath Elba’s beauty lie secrets and resentments. The victim was universally hated, but was his death the result of foul play or just a tragic accident?

With his faithful canine companion, Oscar, Dan must unravel the island's mysteries, a task that soon takes a decidedly personal and unsettling turn.

On a supposedly relaxing Italian island getaway, private investigator Dan becomes embroiled in a suspicious death linked to his best friend’s past. This is an engaging and well-constructed mystery. The romance subplot fell flat for me—Dan’s dog was a stronger character than his girlfriend. I enjoyed the audiobook narration. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
