Edgar® Award-winning author Aaron Elkins’s creation—forensics professor Gideon Oliver—has been hailed by the Chicago Tribune as “a likable, down-to-earth, cerebral sleuth.” Now the celebrated Skeleton Detective is visiting friends at a vineyard in Tuscany when murder leaves a bitter aftertaste...
When Gideon Oliver and his wife, Julie, are in Tuscany visiting the Cubbiddu family, the renowned Skeleton Detective is asked to reexamine the remains of a mysterious family tragedy. Pietro Cubbiddu, former patriarch of the Villa Antica wine empire, is thought to have killed his wife and then himself in the remote mountains of the Apennines. It does not take long for Gideon to deduce that, whatever happened, a murder-suicide it was not.
Soon Gideon finds himself in a morass of family antipathies, conflicts, and mistrust, to say nothing of the local authority’s resentment. And when yet another Cubbiddu relation meets an unlikely end, it becomes bone-chillingly clear that the killer is far from finished...

I like that the Chicago Tribune said that he is “a likable, down-to-earth, cerebral sleuth.” I have read any of his books yet but that is a great recommendation.

The skeleton on the cover drew my attention and that's the detective's name. Also takes place in Tuscany . I always think wine and romance and now murder.

I haven't read this series before, but I like the idea of a forensics professor. I'm a major fan of CSI, so this should be my type of mystery.

I think this book would be a pleasant change from my usual cozies--a forensic mystery sounds interesting.

On the author's website, I discovered that he also writes mysteries with his wife---including a 5 book series about a young female pro-golfer. As a golfer, I'm interested and going to try to find out more about this series.
