Description

In the latest installment of the acclaimed Tuscan Mystery series, the sole witness at a crime scene speaks only English, and ex-NYPD detective turned amateur chef Nico Doyle is summoned by the local carabinieri to help. Though it took some time to settle into his new life in Gravigna, Italy, following the death of his wife, former NYPD detective Nico Doyle has figured a thing or two out. The locals have not only welcomed him, but are giving him rave reviews on his cooking, and his budding relationship with a local woman is healing old wounds. When Nico receives a phone call late at night, he tries to ignore it. A phone call at that time could only mean trouble. Sure enough, it's Perillo of the local carabinieri. A woman was found dead in her home, and the only person at the scene of the crime only speaks English. Nico reluctantly agrees to help Perillo with the case. Judging by the crime scene, Perillo and Nico determine foul play was likely, and they don't have to look long for suspects. Following the death of her husband, the late Signora Nora had taken on a number of lovers, her two daughters aren't on the best terms with her, and there's a lot to be gained from the sale of her residence. Nico and Perillo have their hands full as they try to solve the murder and restore peace to the otherwise sleepy Gravigna. Travel to the cyprus-lined roads of Tuscany in this new installment of acclaimed author Camilla Trinchieri's warm, engaging, and deliciously unpredictable mystery series. Book includes one of Nico's most popular recipes!

Reviews

Praise for The Road to Murder

Most enjoyable. The Road to Murder takes the reader to Tuscany where the scenery, the culture, and the food of that most beautiful part of Italy are as important as the main protagonists. Join the American expat detective as he solves this latest mystery. Warning: reading this will make you hungry.

When la dolce vita in the Chianti region of Italy is interrupted by the murder of a wealthy widow, former NYPD homicide detective Nico Doyle joins the local carabinieri to get to the bottom of the crime in this fourth installment in Trinchieris delightful series that deftly serves up the warmth and spirit of Tuscanyalong with family secrets, stolen jewels, and justice.
Stephanie Cole, author of the Tuscan Cooking School mysteries

"Such a pleasure to lose oneself in Camilla Trinchieri's The Road to Murder, an expertly crafted whodunnit with a vivid cast of characters to enjoy almost as much as Nico Doyle's mouthwatering dishes. Another welcome visit to Chianti in the company of the ex-NYPD detective and his loyal hound. One to savour.
