Venice! City of light, mystery and murder!

Murder in Venice (Armstrong and Oscar Cozy Mystery #13) by T A Williams         

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dan Armstrong is living in Florence, happily engaged to his Italian fiancé Anna. In his previous life he’d been a DCI, now he’s an author and private investigator.
When his day is interrupted by a phone call asking him to call the famous movie diva Alice Graceland of course he complies. The aging and still beautiful Miss Graceland lives on an island fort, the Island of the Swans, near the Lido. She’s been restoring the fort, Swan’s Rest, and writing her memoirs. 
Miss Graceland makes an appointment for Dan to catch the fast train to Venice the next day.  It seems she wants Dan to attend a house party on the island. She engages him to be part of a murder mystery dinner she’ll hold. His role will be that of an investigator. Dan agrees but is unsure of what he’s in for. 
It turns out all her guests are all powerful Hollywood personalities who have at some time wronged Alice.
When one of the guests is actually murdered it’s up to Dan and Oscar his much beloved Labrador to save the day.
A very enjoyable read. (I love reading tales involving Venice.) Some moments are predictable. Oscar, Dan’s canine companion attends of course. Oscar sometimes seems to act as an emotional support dog for those in need.
