Summary
When a well-known British TV historian, Marmaduke Godolphin, is found murdered in the canals of Venice during carnival, stabbed by a stiletto blade, the Venetian police are eager to have the case solved and cleared up within a day—murder is bad for tourism!
The police recruit the help of retired archivist, Arnold Clover. Godolphin had hired his services on arriving in Venice to help sort through some historical papers of note. These dusty documents may contain previously unknown information about the assassination of the murderer, Lorenzino de' Medici, 500 years previously.
How coincidental that Godolphin meets his death in the same place as the Medici murderer, Lorenzino, on a cold, dark, bloody night. Can Arnold use his powers of perception to establish a link and solve the murder of Godolphin?

Unique
A different kind of book from Hewson, written with gentle pace and intrigue (dotted with some fabulous foodie moments!) David please can we have a second Clover novel.

I Never Write A Review... but...
This book and performance are peerless.
David Hewson's books are always fantastic, but Richard Armitage's performance takes this book to a whole new level. Best I have heard on Audible... and that's after listening to nearly 400 books over the years. Bravissimo!!

Fantastic on many levels
Very much enjoyed this. Great characters, plot, and lots of interesting facts about Venice and Italian history. Armitage also does a brilliant narration. Only thing that struck me as odd is he occasionally says chapter numbers as if with disdain. What did a 9 or 12 ever do to him?

Excellent!
An excellent well researched read. The main characters I hope will continue to be part of a series, they are so well formed and believable. The story was a real page turner as the plot developed. I know Venice well and enjoyed looking up locations used. The narrator Richard Armitage was a very good choice fitting in with the character of Arnold Clover. I would highly recommend!

Another great story by David Hewson
I love the way David Hewson writes. He really puts you in Venice. Also the narration of Richard Armitage is always fantastic. Cannot wait for the next story of Arnold.

Loved it - this will not disappoint.
Absolutely brilliant. A must-listen and Richard Armitage’s vocal abilities excel once again. He is my favourite narrator.

Fascinating!
Well written and superbly narrated although it is necessary to pay close attention to the detail!

Venice made real
I loved this book. The detailed descriptions of Venice made you feel you were there and it was a very different slant on a crime thriller. Add Richard Armitage with an Italian accent and what’s not to love. Fab!

Excellent
I have not met this author before but was hooked from the start. As someone who also chose to live in a different country, Poland, I recognise the authenticity of the description of the experience. The Reader was excellent and had none of the ugly mispronounced words some of the readers, particularly some of the American ones, interject . I can really recommend this book.

Beautifully written but too predictable.
Beautifully written and overflowing with the charm and magic of Venice, "The Medici Murders" would be a perfect mystery if only it wasn't so predictable. I knew what twist was coming from about 10% in.
