T.A. Williams returns with another enjoyable murder mystery in the Armstrong and Oscar series this time set on the island of Elba, the island that was once the home of the exiled Napolean Bonaparte but is now a most desirable place to have a holiday when in Italy.

Dan is facing writers block having found his victim at the base of the tower with no plausible reason as to how they got there no matter ow hard he tries to find one that will work.

When Virgilio, his best friend in Tuscany also a Commissario in the Police Department, asks whether he and Anna would like to join he and his wife Lina for a week’s holiday on Elba he decides this is the answer to his writer’s block.

Unfortunately, they are only one day into their holiday, enjoying their first delicious meal when an incident occurs, a man is later found dead, and Virgilio is being held as the man most likely to have committed the murder.

Between eating wonderful food, Oscar naturally getting his share, learning to kite surf, trying not to be a detective or even a Private Investigator, Dan and Oscar manage to become embroiled in the investigation into the death of Ignazio Graziani, a thoroughly despicable man.

It is not until the unpleasant truth begins to surface, they all realise that there is more than one party invested in what is definitely looking like murder especially when a second, highly suspicious death occurs, that of Ignazio’s brother. Aldo.

Murder on an Italian Island is the perfect cozy murder, to while away an afternoon practicing amateur sleuthing skills, as Dan and Oscar once again make solving a murder or two somewhat of an adventure Italian style. Even though this is a part of a series it is also a stand-alone book.
