What to expect
Perfect for fans of Lee Strauss and Beth Byers.
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?

I must say l have fallen in love with T A Williams' Dan Armstrong and Oscar mysteries. So much so, l have purchased all his remaining novels on xigxag having happily left Audible where l purchased the first three novels of the series. Murder in Siena is a lovely novel which is written as well as all the other stories - you can feel the warmth, smells and tastes of Italy in Williams' novels. The interplay between Dan and his dog is heart-warming, the characters are precisely and humanely drawn and the stories are always fast moving and filled with intrigue. Simon Mattacks is a perfect narrator of the stories who makes all the characters so likeable, even the "baddies".
