Summary

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

A lazy weekend in the country…

Dan Armstrong and the new love of his life, Anna, are heading to a hotel deep in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside for a long weekend, looking forward to some time away from the stresses of their day jobs. With the beautiful and historic city of Siena just around the corner, it promises to be relaxing and enjoyable. What could possibly go wrong?

A mutilated body…

But when a mutilated body is discovered in the hotel grounds Dan is called in to help with the investigation. But who or what could have been responsible for such a vicious attack? Was it the work of wild animals, or is there a brutal murderer at large?

A killer who cried wolf?

Dan knows he is dealing with a clever killer – whether two- or four-legged! And as he sets out to solve the case he begins to worry about his own loyal canine companion. Could Oscar be in more danger than any of the other hotel guests or is a murderer trying to cover their tracks?

It's another case for Dan and Oscar to solve!

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

Love this series

Great narration by Simon Mattacks.

Williams sends you deep into Tuscany, not only with the adventures of Armstrong and his trusted Labrador, Oscar but with the wonderful description of the food and countryside.

Roll on book 4

Easy listening

Genuinely a gentle adventure of an ex copper and his dog in Tuscany. Welcome distraction while driving or walking the dog.

Easy listening and lighthearted

Extra special listening for lovers of labradors. Dan and Oscar stories get better and provide light relief in dark days. TA Williams blends romance, murder and his love of animals into these lighthearted stories. The narrator reads well but needs to check his pronunciation of bruschetta which, I think, is a K sound and not a soft CH. i.e. K as in Key not ch as in shed. So it sounds like BrusKetta. Just a small thing though.

MY VERY FAVORITE SERIES , AUTHOR, AND NARRATER❣️

GREAT NEWS! at least 6 more of these are on the way with the next one coming before Christmas 2023! If you're reading this, I have to assume that you have read the first 3 books and are as much in love with Oscar as as I am. All of his friends are wonderful, too.
Simon Mattacks adds so much to the story by embodying Armstrong as well as the rest of the characters, that if you have only read the previous books, you are in for the listening treat of the year!
The publisher's summaries are always dependable, so enough said about the specific plot.
These are clean, wholesome, non-preachy cosy mysteries that are the perfect fast-paced blend of humor and intrigue, while you're tasting the food and seeing the sights in beautiful Tuscany. You just know that the author has spent a lot of time there.
You can count on never figuring out where the story is going until the very end.
But be warned, you won't want to "paws" anywhere along the way!

Dan Armstrong retired after 30 years in the Murder Squad where his "pals" gave him the "gift" of a writers' retreat in Tuscany. Since then, he has become divorced, settled in to stay, made friends with some men in the local Polizia, adopted a Black Lab (Oscar), written a mystery that's recently been published, and made the acquaintance of a bilingual professor who seems to understand that you can take the man out of The Job but you can't take The Job out of the man.
Dan, Oscar, Anna, their friend from the Florence police and his wife are in Siena on holiday when shenanigans among the scientists turn murderous and the first one is staged to appear as if it was done by wolves. Because of their bilingual abilities and history of working well together the local inspector asks them to help with this preponderance of English speakers. And so it begins! Another great story in series interpreted by voice actor Simon Mattacks!
