Murder at the Duomo - TA Williams

 Murder at the Duomo - TA Williams

Pub. Date: Feb. 2, 2026

This is the fourteenth in the Armstrong and Oscar Cozy Mystery series. It is the first I have read and it works well as a stand-alone.

Englishman Dan Armstrong is a retired DCI living and working as a private investigator in Florence, Italy. His faithful sidekick is Oscar, an instinctively smart canine companion.When a British arms dealer is found dead inside a confessional within the renowned Duomo, Dan’s friend, the local Commissario, seeks his assistance as an interpreter and clue seeker. The arms dealer’s colleagues staying at his expansive estate above the city provide no shortage of suspects. 

This captivating and entertaining read boasts a well-crafted plot that keeps readers guessing. The charming locals and Oscar’s delightful presence make the story enjoyable. The beautiful antiquities and picturesque scenery of Florence immerse the reader in the mystery.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am now eager to revisit some of the earlier installments in the series.

Thanks to @NetGalley and #BoldwoodBooks @TheBoldBOokClub for the DRC.
