Murder in ChiantiMurder in Chianti by Camilla Trinchieri
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book deserves a longer review, but, I am so far behind in reviews that I have to give a bit of a brief one, enough to describe the things that I liked. I do thank AboveTheTreeLine and the publisher for giving me an opportunity to review an eArc of Murder in Chianti. All comments are my personal views.
The best thing about Murder in Chianti for me is that it gave me a chance to do a bit of armchair travel since I missed my vacation this year. Camilla Trinchieri has done amazing work by painting the scenery of the region of Italy where the story takes place. I could picture the streets, trattorias, piazzas, carabinieri in their uniforms, and so much more.

This author also does a great job with characterization. I have enjoyed meeting Nico, Tilde, Salvatore, Daniele, Elvira, One Wag, and my personal favorite. The town of Gravigna was a character on its own. If you have been to Italy, especially to smaller towns in Tuscany, you can reminisce on the beautiful cobblestones, amazing architecture, smell of olive trees, especially if you have ever smelled a sweet olive tree. The mystery was great. It kept the reader guessing and even when Nico, Salvatore, and Daniele figured it out, I was almost convinced they were going to change their mind. I am really looking forward to following the Tuscan Mystery series.
