Review
‘Murder in Florence’ is just on the right side of cosy for me, cute, and fun but with a slice of darkness running through it! Plus, it is set in the gorgeous area of Tuscany and Florence, and there is also a dog along for the ride. What isn't there to love? This is the third book of the series but it can be read as a standalone but I do recommend reading the first two books as they were brilliant. This series is just getting stronger and stronger and I can't wait for the next outing.
Dan Armstrong has set up a detective agency in Florence but it isn't as exciting as he hoped for. He mainly trails people who are suspected of cheating. But when he is asked to investigate a spate of violent acts on a film set in Florence he jumps at the chance. The main star in the film Selena Gardner fears for her life and the whole cast and crew are on tenterhooks in case there is another attack. There are plenty of secrets and scandals on the film set but nothing that Dan can see that would cause this. That is until the first body is found. Dan has his work cut out to find the killer before they strike again.
I flew through this as soon as it arrived as I adore this series! It is a tightly plotted novel and doesn't over-explain what is happening to the reader as the author assumes we have a bit of intelligence. It's full of twists and turn and I was honestly kept guessing until the very end. There was a great cast of characters on the film set and I enjoyed how all their stories intertwined with the secrets and scandals! Dan and Oscar were great as usual and I can't wait to see what adventure is coming next!
Let me know if you pick this one up!
