Synopsis

THE IRRESISTIBLE DESTINATION THRILLER, NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES STREAMING ON ITV

'A cracking crime procedural' The Courier

'Capri makes an irresistible setting for crime fiction' THE TIMES

Scorching hot summer. Cold-blooded murder . . .

The Italian island of Capri – a slice of paradise and childhood home of widowed DCI Joe Mottram’s late wife. It’s the perfect place to bring his teenage daughter Angelica, where her grandparents run Da Vinale’s beach restaurant.

When a British tourist’s body is found nearby, Joe is asked to liaise with local detective Lara Sarrancino. Which means saying arrivederci to his holiday – because this is no accident.

Worse, Lara is stubbornly asking questions at Da Vinale’s. Might the family restaurant be serving up more than delicious food?

Is murder on the menu?

'A brilliant read' FABULOUS

A Taste For Murder
It’s good.
Wonderful setting and really loved the family drama. I think Joe and Lara have the makings of great detective duo. Hope there’s a sequel.
