Commissario Garini wants nothing better than to enjoy a romantic vacation with his wife Carlina on the beautiful Italian island, Sardinia. But within a few hours, all plans go awry. To his great dismay, he discovers he has a large (and hitherto unknown) family just as eccentric as his in-laws. The very next morning, he survives an attack by the skin of his teeth. His whole world comes crashing down. Is it possible his family isn't as delighted about his sudden appearance as they pretended to be?

Holiday Death is a charming and amusing cozy crime that continues the popular series 'Temptation in Florence'. However, as a whole new set of characters is introduced in this book, it can very well be read on its own.
