The cozy mysteries from the Amstrong and Oscar series by T.A.Williams are a pleasure to read for more than one reason: one is the eventful plot and the adventures taking place along the way; the other is the Italian background of the stories. The more I read in the series the higher my interest to return to Italy. As a constant learner of Italian, I cannot wait to see soon some of those beautiful places, that may hide so many secrets and mysteries.
This time, Dan is about to have a break in the beautiful Florence. Spending time with his fiancée and his family are the only urgent things on his agenda. However, you may never be sure about what´s next in his case, and that´s what happened now: as a corpse - of non other than a super wealthy arms dealer - is found inside the beautiful Duomo, Dan is on a mission to trace the culprit. On his side, one of the best four-legged support, Oscar, whose fantastic intuition is always saving the game.
I couldn´t put down this book, as usual, captivated by the well developed mystery plot, but about the character development and the atmospheric Italian landscape descriptions. Every time there is a new book from the series, I am happy to spend some eventful hours trying to decipher together with the characters the key of the story. As usual, it was definitely worth it.
A recommended read for a faster journey through the cold February, and some inspiring tips for the incoming travel months as well. I just cannot wait to see where the new adventures of Dan and Oscar will take them, and the readers as well.
Rating: 4.5 stars
