Pregnant, bored, and longing for an adventure, Posie Parker accepts a rather last-minute Wedding Invitation from an old friend who is getting married out in the gorgeous town of San Gimignano, Tuscany.
But what Posie -and her husband, Richard Lovelace- arrive into is not a blissfully happy wedding party at all. It’s a chaotic mix of mistrust, unfaithful fiancées, bizarre Death Threats, uninvited wedding guests and a big dollop of very real unease.
As the wedding pre-dinner party unfolds, a murderer strikes again and again.
Secrets from beyond the grave are revealed, shadows of the past loom over the present, and disguises are uncovered in what has become a deadly, dangerous game of obsession.
Can Posie and Richard uncover the murderer before others die? Or will the truth come at a terrible price?
Murder in Tuscany is set against the beautiful back-drop of a sun-drenched Tuscan hill-top town, and is full of intrigue and red herrings, and is the completely unputdownable eleventh book in the delightfully classic and glamorously entertaining Posie Parker Mystery Series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right. This is a clean read, with no graphic violence, sex, swearing or strong language. This is a classic murder mystery which will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey.
Murder in Tuscany (Posie Parker Mystery #11) Reviews
-
Upon reading many of the reviews posted, I realize that there must be something wrong with me. For I found this book to be simply excruciating to get through. I only doggedly finished it because, for some reason, I had spent money purchasing the audiobook. I have no idea why and I'm $18.00 the poorer for it).
Granted, this is the only book in the series I have read. Perhaps this accounts for my offside review. However, I found Posey Parker to be irritating, haughty, and either very lucky or one of the smartest detectives ever, based on the last half of the story in which she unravels an unbelievably complex tale of treachery. And her poor put-upon husband whose presence in the story I'm still trying to figure out. Why is he there other than to smoke and sound confused?
At any rate, based on the overall rating, I'm obviously an outlier and should be excluded from the dataset !! -
It really is unputdownable!
It seems like a long time since a new book in this series has come out and when I saw this one, I eagerly got it. I have all the others. I really enjoy the interactions of the characters and the knowledgeable way the author writes. There were almost too many twists and turns even for me in this one but the end was satisfying to me. I would recommend Posie to anyone looking for believable characters and historically accurate descriptions and good stories. -
The best story yet! I love the Posie Parker stories and this is my new favourite. So pleased to see a bit more of Jacinta too, even if there was a sticky end. I’m really enjoying seeing Posie and Richard together with their expanding family, but also how the mystery still stays the main focus. Just brilliant.

Murder in Tuscany
Posie and Richard travel to Tuscany for the wedding of a friend, but soon find themselves involved in a double murder.
Murder in Tuscany is an absolutely brilliant addition to the Posie Parker series. Set in Tuscany in 1925 it moves along at a good pace. The characters are strong and the story well written.
Highly recommended. -
Excellent!!!!
“Unputdownable” is a perfect description for this story!! The characters and locales are so well defined that the reader feels like they are in the midst of all of it. The author included some pictures of San Gimigiano at the end of the story which are beautiful and give the story even more depth. -
enjoyed this one immensely
This was a real teaser of a book - who did it was not clear at all but all the people came to make sense at the end. Two crazy insane cousins reeked a lit of damage in their wakes. And i loved them traveling together as a married couple and their three adorable children! -
Really enjoyed this book as I know Sam Gimignano well and have stayed twice in the Cisterna hotel Jacinta’s guesthouse is based on. I did though think of Agatha Christie’s Peril at End House as a very similar plot twist
-
Best One Yet!!!

Murder in Tuscany
Another underfunding through Tuscany with Posie and Lovelace. Very enjoyable story with lots of suspects and plot twists. Can't wait to read the next book whenever that will be -
The Posie Parker series is always fun and Murder in Tuscany is no exception. It delivers on both the promise of the premise and provides additional character progress in the ongoing arc of Posie & Richard’s lives. This is a terrific cozy.

I am so hooked on Posie Parker! I think this was the best so far. Complex. Attention to history. A little ( very little) romance.
-
