The Tuscan Contessa - Dinah Jefferies



Having previously read and loved Dinah Jefferies and I couldn't wait to get stuck into this one. This one is a different from her normal type of novel but it is equally as good.

I was gripped from the first page and found it very hard to put down. 

 If you weren't wanting a holiday before, you will after reading this.  Several locations in Italy are featured including Rome, Florence and Tuscany. Having not been to some of these locations Dinah did a brilliant job at creating the visions, I could see myself there along side the characters as I was reading.

 No one knows who to trust, even family are questioning family. This makes you question how well you know your own family. 


This story is a question of hardship and love, and the trials and tribulations it goes through. 


Who can you trust?

As he twisted harder, I turned my body in the direction of his grip to try and relieve the pain. His other hand appeared from behind him and the heel of his palm hit the side of my head. As it made contact with my ear, a siren rang in my brain, blocking all other sound. I kicked out, my foot slamming into his shins. His forward momentum increased as he was caught off balance, and his upper body folded. His shoulder glanced off the picture frame on the wall and it fell to the floor with a clatter. The rebound flung him away from me. As he let go of my arm, we fell apart like a tree struck down the middle by lightning. I staggered backwards, calves ramming against the coffee table, pushing it towards the sofa. Terror now ruling my fear, I grabbed the ceramic vase toppling from the table. I swung it ineffectually at his head. I was briefly su

Buy here If you have ever read or listened to a Lisa Hall book before you know that she keeps you guessing right up till the very end. This one is no different. When you think you have figured it out something else is thrown into the pot to throw you off guard and keep you guessing. I listened to this book as part of the audio book blog tour. I really enjoyed the narrator, I think she added something extra as she did the voices for each character so you know who was talking, unlike some who just use the same tone for everyone. It is an easy listen and draws you in. Once again, it is a just one more chapter sort of book. The wait in your car until the chapter is over sort of book so you can find out the ending. There are some underlying stories that come out which are hinted at throughout the book which keep you guessing on a number of levels. Characters that nake you suspicious and ones you sympathise with. Twists and turns at every corner. 4 stars
