Thank you for the opportunity to read book 11 for the #blogtour
Another enjoyable book in this series. A possibility of police corruption for Dan and Oscar to help investigate. And so much food!

I'm always excited for a new instalment in the Dan and Oscar series and Murder At The Ponte Vecchio was no different. It absolutely lived up to my expectations and more!
I can't believe that we are now at Book 11 in this series, and I have loved spending time with Dan and Oscar. I love their partnership - the way that they have each other's back and have amazing trust in each other and are able to read each other's moods. Dan is an experienced and intelligent investigator, and the way he thinks outside the box makes the plot of the novel very interesting. I've enjoyed seeing his influence in the Italian Police grow through his friendships with Virgilio and Marco.
Once again, the setting for Murder At The Ponte Vecchio is beautiful, and the author's descriptions are detailed. This makes it really easy to picture the scenes and drew me right into the story.
The plot of The Murder At The Ponte Vecchio seems more complex than in previous instalments and I really enjoyed this. I found each of the different strands interesting, and I was keen to find out if, and how, they all fit together and I love the way the author has constructed this.
I hope that Dan and Oscar will return soon!

This latest entry in the Dan and Oscar series takes place in Florence, and, as the title suggests, some of the action takes place on the famous Ponte Vecchio. Retired DCI Dan is in much demand as a private investigator and happens to be contacted by a man who is murdered before he can speak with Dan about his predicament. Oscar, an always-hungry dog with a very good sense of which humans can be trusted, figure out who's behind this murder and other crimes in Florence. It's an engrossing and complex story, combining the lovely ancient city of Florence with modern topics of immigration and inequality -- but T A Williams pulls it together into a satisfying resolution. The locations, food, and wine are luscious, and the relationships between the central characters are well-developed and real. A very enjoyable read!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.

Can Dan and Oscar sniff out the killer’s tracks or will this case be a bridge too far?
A fabulous, really enjoyable read.
I would highly recommend to family and friends. I love author’s that can describe a scene and you are immediately there, you close your eyes and you picture the scene. This author does that for me.

I discovered the Armstrong and Oscar books fairly recently and have enjoyed reading them all so was really pleased to receive an advance copy of this latest one. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher.
This is a cosy crime series set in Tuscany with the protagonists being a retired police officer and his lovable black Labrador. I love the dog, Oscar and his character is almost identical to my own Labrador so I’m often found chuckling whilst reading. The descriptions of Florence, the surrounding countryside and the wonderful Italian food and wine are all great and it’s a lovely escapist read. There are several murders and a difficult problem to solve in the local police force all of which keep the reader interested and keen to find out more. Highly recommended.
