Murder, Belladonna, and a Cup of Proper Tea…

When burned-out psychologist Dr Julian Blackwood arrives in postcard-perfect Varenna, Italy, all he wants is rest, sunshine, and a decent brew. But when a luxury BMW crashes into a fifteenth-century house and a wealthy banker turns up dead—with poison in his veins—Julian finds himself sipping espresso and untangling lies instead of lounging lakeside.

The police think it's an open-and-shut case: Thomas Roth, the victim’s playboy nephew, had the motive, means, and a scandalous history. But Julian’s keen eye—and finely tuned instincts—say otherwise. Why does the town's tidy ex-major seem more concerned by tourists than murder? What’s really hiding behind the glam facade of the suspect’s fashion-model fiancée? And who keeps slipping between the cypress trees at Villa Lusso?

With the help of a sharp local police officer, a caring citizen, and a suspiciously well-dressed lawyer, Julian delves into a world of vendettas, poisoned beauty products, and civic pride with deadly consequences. From dusty balconies to moonlit alleys, he must outwit a killer who’s counting on small-town secrecy to keep the truth buried.

Packed with sun-drenched charm, biting wit, and a twisty puzzle at its heart, Death on Via Venini is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Carlene O’Connor, and Faith Martin.

If you love cosy mysteries with brains, beauty, and a dose of old-school sleuthing, Julian Blackwood is your next favourite amateur detective.
