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.

Well this is a series that is continually going from strength to strength, and I once again was loving every word of this book. 

It's amazing how much death and murder appears to follow Dan around, even when he is meant to be on a relaxing break with Anna, Lina and Virglio on the island of Elba. 

But this time he pretty much has to get involved as the local police are suspecting someone close to Dan and he needs to clear their name as well as trying to solve the case. 

I have to say I had absolutely no sympathy for the dead in this book, truly despicable people, that needed to be taken out of society in some way shape or form. 

The food descriptions are delicious, and I really felt as though I was in Elba alongside the characters. 

This was an addictive book to read, and is another fabulous story for Dan and Oscar. Oscar really is my favourite ever fictional dog! 

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