Who butchered the fabulously wealthy Ursula? On the night socialite Ursula von Bachmann was murdered in her fabulous villa in Tuscany, her three adult children and Piero and Marta, the couple who ran the house for her, were all present and all had the motive to want her dead. Jacopo Dragonetti, investigating magistrate and State Prosecutor, in charge of the case, also finds out that Guido della Rocca, Ursula’s gigolo boyfriend, is also in the frame.
‘Feels like a grown up, intense and grisly version of Cluedo, you suspect everyone and trust no one…a gripping story.’ Liz Loves Books
