Murder in Chianti | Camilla Trinchieri
7 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
"Set in the heart of Tuscan wine country, Camilla Trinchieri's new mystery introduces Nico Doyle, a former NYPD homicide detective who's just looking for space to grieve when he finds himself pulled into a local muder investigation. Mourning the loss of his wife, Rita, former NYPD homicide detective Nico Doyle moves to her hometown of Gravigna in the wine-soaked region of Chianti. Half-Italian and half-Irish, Nico finds himself able to get by in the region with the help of Rita's relatives, but he still feels alone and out of place. He isn't sure if it's peace he's seeking, but it isn't what he finds. Early one morning, he hears a gunshot near his cabin and walks out to discover a dead body in the woods, flashily dressed in gold tennis shoes. A small white dog at the scene won't leave Nico alone, so he lies to the police and claims to be its owner. Salvatore Perillo, the local maresciallo, enlists Nico's help with the murder case. It turns out more than one person in this idyllic corner of Italy knew the victim, and with a very small pool of suspects, including his own in-laws, Nico must dig up Gravigna's every last painful secret to get to the truth"--

A decent trip to Tuscany. Even with a side of murder, the draw to this book is the decadent descriptions of the regional culinary delicacies. Buon Appetito!

This mystery is only 304 pages, but it seemed to take forever to read. That‘s not a bad thing. I enjoyed leisurely days in Italy, chatting with friends, enjoying good food, and admiring an adorable dog. The mystery is secondary to the atmosphere and the characters‘ interaction. I wasn‘t compelled to work out the whodunnit, but I may try to make a few of the dishes described.

⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ 💫

I really appreciate that #thebookdrop introduces me to gems I may have never heard of otherwise. I enjoyed this literary visit in Gravigna! I was a bit more drawn in by the wonderful Tuscan setting, engaging characters, and food descriptions than the mystery. It inspired me to order an espresso and bombolone from our local Italian cafe! ☕️😋

mrsmarch I‘m planning a visit to The Book Drop tomorrow! I tripped across it on vacation & googled it & I‘m like, Indie book subscription whaaat! Of course I had to check Litsy for hashtags…. 3y
ICantImReading @mrsmarch oh how cool!! I would love to hear how it is in person. I‘ve been really happy with the subscription service! I have the “Books for Tea” and “Books for Coffee” blend. I think the subscription names are so cute and clever!! Have fun!!! (edited) 3y

I really liked this murder mystery set in the Chianti region of Tuscany. I hope this becomes a series. In addition to a well written book, the food descriptions are enough to make your mouth water. If you like Italian food. 🇮🇹🍝🍷
