Murder in Florence

Armstrong and Oscar, Book 3

By: T A Williams

Narrated by: Simon Mattacks

A gripping murder mystery from bestselling author T.A. Williams

A glamorous film star…

Life as a private investigator in the suburbs of Florence isn’t always as glamorous as Dan Armstrong imagined it to be, until he is asked to investigate a recent spate of violent attacks on a Hollywood movie set in Florence. The star of the show, movie-star royalty Selena Gardner, fears her life is in imminent danger…

Foul play on set…

As Dan investigates, he discovers secrets and scandals are rife within the cast and crew. But with no actual murder, Dan believes these attacks could simply be warnings to someone…until the first body is found.

A dangerous killer on the loose.

Now Dan and his trusty sidekick Oscar are in a race against time to catch the murderer. But the more Dan uncovers, the more the killer strikes and Dan finds himself caught in the line of fire too! Is this one case Dan and Oscar will regret?

Another instalment in bestselling author T. A. Williams' Armstrong and Oscar cozy mystery series!

Kept me guessing to the end

This is the third book in the series. I’ve enjoyed each one. I think this was the best story as it kept you guessing to the very end.

Story enhanced by superior narrator

I listened to the Audible version of the first book of the series: Murder in Tuscany, and I was hooked. Upon completion, I bought the next one: Murder in Chianti, then moved right onto the last in the series (so far): Murder in Florence.
Not only are the stories engaging, the main character, Dan Armstrong and dog Oscar, are developed to the point that you like being with them. The feeling of the Tuscany environment is a pleasant backdrop and gives a good sense of atmosphere.
The narrator, Simon Mattacks, is so excellent. His soothing voice doesn’t grate, he doesn’t try to over-embellish and what mastery of accents! He can voice any accent well and does so throughout the books so that it gives the listener the feeling of multiple characters from different regions around the globe. Very enjoyable.
I’d like to tie the author to his computer churning out more Tuscany mysteries with Armstrong and Oscar. Am not looking forward to the gap ahead until the next one comes out.

So glad I found this series

I really think this is a step above what is usually considered a cozy. The writing is outstanding. We need another category to describe what I believe to be a classic mystery. There is nothing silly about these books. Armstrong works well with the local police. How refreshing, we are not burdened with heavy baggage of personal problems. These books could be played on a long car trip with young family members in the car.

Fun story Italian mystery.

I preferred the first and second books of his series. Descriptions on Italy and surroundings are excellent.

Great balance between character development and action!

Love the narrator, the story, the setting, and characters. Oscar is a lab with a knack for being a dog who does doggy things at the right—as well as the wrong—moments. I enjoy the writer’s humor, and how he keeps the series plot going while each book plays out.
