A Taste For Murder

Brought to you by Penguin.

For Detective Chief Inspector Joe Mottram, a summer on the island of Capri was meant to be an opportunity to reconnect with his troubled teenage daughter, Angelica, and his Italian in-laws, after his wife’s Francesca’s death by a hit-and-run.

But when a British tourist is found dead and a member of his late wife’s family is accused of murder, Joe is pulled back into a world of police cells, crime scenes and local corruption. As he discovers more about the island, he realises it holds the answers to Francesca’s death, which may not have been a tragic accident after all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Baker vividly evokes the relationships...and their grief for Sophia, as well as describing delectable meals, provided for comfort, education, seduction and encouragement

As a high-end holiday destination with an underbelly of organised crime, Capri makes an irresistible setting for crime fiction...Baker moves deftly between the murder investigation and a look behind the scenes at the struggling restaurant owned by Mottram’s Italian parents-in-law.
