As Sandro Cellini comes to grips with the realities of life as a private detective, an old case comes back to haunt him. Loni Meadows, the glamorous and ruthless American-Italian director of an artistic retreat in a castle in the hills outside Florence, is found dead in circumstances Sandro cannot accept are accidental. As he attempts to uncover the truth of Loni's violent and lonely death, Sandro finds himself drawn into the lives of the castle's small and highly strung community.
Reminiscent of a locked-room mystery in the style of Agatha Christie, A Murder in Tuscany leads readers from one suspect to the nextβonly to end on a complete surprise. Kent is a masterful investigator of character and mood, and her second mystery conveys the claustrophobic setting of the castle as well as the individual complicated lives of its inhabitants in a chilling, memorable way.
