Murder in Tuscany

The Posie Parker Mystery Series, Book 11

De: L.B. Hathaway

Narrado por: Clare Wille

Posie Parker is invited to a sun-drenched wedding in Tuscany, but when a murderer strikes she takes on her deadliest case yet…

March, 1925.

Pregnant, bored of London, and longing for an adventure, Posie Parker accepts a last-minute Wedding Invitation from a friend, the renowned clairvoyant Jacinta Glaysayer, who has set up a small Guesthouse in the gorgeous hilltop town of San Gimignano, Tuscany. Jacinta is getting married to the local owner of a Gelateria, ambitious young widower Lorenzo Rosario. Sounds like a dream!

But what Posie - and her husband, Scotland Yard Chief Commissioner Richard Lovelace - arrive into is not a dream at all. Posie finds a disconcerting group of wedding guests: Lady Tony Harewood, a quiet girl who nevertheless seems destined for great things; Roberta Grimaldi, the resentful cousin of Lorenzo’s first wife; Charlie Seego, a man who looks too good to be true, and the famously disgraced Member of Parliament, Simon Deverine. When Jacinta confides uneasily to Posie that she keeps receiving a tarot card foretelling her own death, and that Lorenzo is angrily dismissive of her fears, Posie is aghast. Posie suspects that Lorenzo is finding comfort in the arms of another girl, but if so, why does he really want to marry Jacinta?

Amid the unease, cases of poisoning start up, first at the Gelateria, and then at the Guesthouse, and then a famous and uninvited guest makes her dramatic, deadly entrance at an unforgettable pre-wedding dinner. As the band plays and the ice-cream melts, the electricity suddenly fails and an ingenious murderer strikes again and again...

Can they uncover the murderer before others die? Or will the truth come at a terrible price?

Always great

Well this one took me for a loop. Attending a wedding can mean murder! Of course Posie ends up in the middle of a complicated mystery

One of her best

Very enjoyable, intricate plot, vivid prose; suspense and mystery from the beginning. The narrator embodies Posie's character perfectly. I can't wait for the next one.
My only critique is that neither Lovelace's personality or he and Posie's dynamic are really fleshed out yet. The only reason I give this critique of the author, when she is clearly one of the best writers in this genre, is because I think she could truly be world class. I would love to see Posie in the movies one day.

Love love love Posie

As sure as bread as bread this is my favorite series! Loved Murder in Tuscany!
Wonderful writing,great characters, and the narration if perfect. Can’t wait for the next audiobook!

Not the best in the series

I wanted to like this one more than I did. However, for me, the author was just too heavy-handed with the clues. Overly 'clever' plots is one of the flaws (and sometimes delights) of this series, and the books tend to offer a few surprises and red herrings along the way. This time, I noticed the clues, guessed their significance correctly, and found myself rolling my eyes whenever Posie would exclaim 'Oh!' and rush off to pursue a hunch, since her sudden realizations seemed obvious to me chapters earlier. It felt tedious having to wait for her to catch up. Perhaps, however, this is the effect of listening to a few books in this series in a row.

Disappointed

Definitely not one of my favorite books. Her characters was all over the place in my opinion.
