Summary

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

A remote retreat…

Nestled high in the Tuscan hills lies Villa Volpone, home to renowned crime writer Jonah Moore and his creative writing course. It’s also the last place retired DCI Dan Armstrong expected to spend his retirement! Dan’s no writer, but maybe this break will help him to think about the next chapter in his own life story?

A gruesome murder…

But only days into the course, Jonah Moore is found stabbed to death with his award-winning silver dagger! And Dan finds himself pulled out of retirement with a killer to catch.

Eleven possible suspects.

The other guests all seem shocked by Jonah’s death, but Dan knows that one of them must be lying. And as he and Italian Commissario Virgilio Pisano begin to investigate it quickly becomes clear that everyone at Villa Volpone has secrets to hide…

But can Dan discover who the murderer is before they strike again?

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

Very enjoyable- I hope there is a follow up.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Even though there was murder involved it seemed very genteel and uplifting. It was just what I needed after listening to a book I found to be quite unexpectedly distressing. Please write a follow on series. Simon Mattaks was an excellent narrator - he’s a keeper.

Delightful find while on a traveling holiday. Not taxing, easy listen and beautiful setting. Could almost touch/feel the Tuscany countryside and food. Enjoyed the characters, looking forward to rest of series. Wonderful escape without a lot of waffle .
Narrator is a new favourite , fitted perfectly to the main character and story

An unexpected treat

I was very pleasantly surprised to find this book and to enjoy wholeheartedly its evocation of sunnier climes. I do hope there will be more in this series to enjoy.
The reader is perfect for the task.

Entertaining cozy

This is a good book to listen to if you like relaxing stories, with interesting characters, and an above average result. I only guessed half the mystery. I no longer enjoy thrillers, so if edge of your seat suspense is your cup of tea you won't like this book.

Loved the descriptions of each unique character

Wonderful details about characters, raw emotions and landscape. I wish I had listened to this book first. But despite not listening to them in order, the story was entertaining and relaxing.

Awful

Couldn’t return but wanted to, didn’t realize content! Should give more info in description. Didn’t make it pad the first few chapters.
