Murder in Venice: A BRAND NEW instalment in the cozy mystery series from T A Williams

Let bestselling author T.A. Williams whisk you away to beautiful Venice in this cozy murder mystery featuring a retired DCI and his loyal companion, Oscar. 🐶 It really is murder in paradise! 🔎🩸🇮🇹 A movie icon 🎥 A murky past 👀 And a murder mystery set in the magical city of Venice 🇮🇹✨

Private investigator Dan Armstrong can’t believe his luck when he’s invited to the luxury villa of none other than Alice Graceland, movie legend and queen of the silver screen. Could this be his big break - a chance to schmooze with stars and pitch his own murder mystery series? He’s already imagining red carpets and a golden Oscar to accompany his faithful canine companion, Oscar the Labrador…

But when he gets there, things start to look far from magical ...

Alice isn’t looking to bankroll Dan’s writing, but instead she wants him to play host at a murder mystery evening with a glamorous (but suspiciously tense) collection of Hollywood royalty. It should be a meeting of old friends - but just how friendly are they? There’s champagne, candlelight, and an increasing number of grudges floating beneath the surface.

As the murder mystery evening takes a sinister turn, Dan and Oscar find themselves navigating more than the city’s canals to find the truth.

Murder, mischief, and movie-star mayhem in the heart of Venice. Another gripping case for Dan and Oscar to solve
