I have read all of Tom Hindle's book so far and they have all been enjoyable. I loved the setting of this book on the Lake Garda and the entitled personalities of the families fit the book very well. I didn't like any of the characters and there was a lot of conflict between the families which added to the tension.
It did feel a little slow in parts and I thought it could have moved forward a little quicker. The murder doesn't even happen until about 50% by which point I was starting to feel a bit bored with all the family drama but this picks the story back up again.
The ending ties up all unanswered questions nicely even though I did guess who the murderer was a little bit before. Overall I loved the setting and it is a clever story that made me want to keep reading on.

Having previously read The Murder Game by the same author I was really excited when I saw Murder on Lake Garda was out. I love Tom Hindle’s style of writing and how despite a very modern plot involving an influencer as a main character, his mysteries very much remind me of Agatha Christie’s writing style. I also love how the narrators kept changing round, never quite knowing who to trust and who was telling the truth until the end
