This is the sixteenth in the Armstrong and Oscar Cozy Mystery series. It is the third I have read, and it would work well as a stand-alone.

Englishman Dan Armstrong, a retired DCI, now resides and works as a private investigator in Florence, Italy, and is married to Anna, a university professor. His faithful sidekick is Oscar, an instinctively smart canine companion.

A few days before Christmas, Dan, Anna, and Oscar are invited to an opulent alpine retreat in northern Italy. When someone is found dead, Dan must unravel whether it is suicide, an accident, or murder.  If it is murder, there is no shortage of suspects among the rancorous guests.

This captivating and entertaining read boasts a well-crafted plot that keeps readers guessing. Oscar’s delightful presence enhances the enjoyment of the story, and, as always, he proves to be a valuable and reliable assistant. The atmospheric descriptions of the scenery , weather, food, and wine immerse the reader in the locale.

I can’t wait to see where Dan and Oscar’s next mystery will take them.

Thanks to @NetGalley and @BoldwoodBooks for the DRC.
