I discovered the Armstrong and Oscar books fairly recently and have enjoyed reading them all so was really pleased to receive an advance copy of this latest one. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher.
This is a cosy crime series set in Tuscany with the protagonists being a retired police officer and his lovable black Labrador. I love the dog, Oscar and his character is almost identical to my own Labrador so I’m often found chuckling whilst reading. The descriptions of Florence, the surrounding countryside and the wonderful Italian food and wine are all great and it’s a lovely escapist read. There are several murders and a difficult problem to solve in the local police force all of which keep the reader interested and keen to find out more. Highly recommended.
