Murder in broad daylight…

When millionaire magnate, Rex Hunter is found with his head bashed in on the eighth hole of his prestigious golf and country club in beautiful Chianti, it’s a clear case of murder. Hunter was rich and successful and the envy of many, so retired DCI Dan Armstrong thinks the case will be a hole in one to solve….

A despised victim…

But as Dan and his trusty sidekick Oscar begin to dig deeper into Hunter’s lifestyle, they discover a man despised by many. A renowned womaniser, ruthless boss and heartless family man, it seems no one is particularly sorry to see Hunter dead. And the list of possible suspects is endless…

A murderer covering their tracks.

Dan is determined to catch this clever killer, but it seems every new lead brings another dead end. Will this be one case Dan and his canine companion won’t solve?

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

T. A. Williams, you wily author you.. you have completely outfoxed me in this latest book. 

I had absolutely no idea who the murder might be and never would have predicted the way things would turn out. 

What is clear is that Rex Hunter, the victim was an unpleasant man, and many people had a reason to dislike him a lot. 

It was great to catch up with Dan and Oscar, a year on from the previous book, where Dan is now helping the local police on a regular basis, despite being retired. 

I loved the way he and the Italian detectives think, and was fascinated to see how they would solve this mystery. 

Full of red herrings, untrustworthy suspects and with a real flavour of Chianti, this is a marvellous second book in this series, proving the author really is fabulous at whichever genre they are writing. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
