Daggers and Men's Smiles

On the island of Guernsey, DI Ed Moretti and DC Liz Falla have been called to a film set because someone has viscously slashed a set of costumes with a dagger.  Later, a similar dagger has been thrown into the garden area where the author of the movie is staying.  Early the following morning, Moretti is called and informed that the location manager for the film is dead.

A few days later the author is found dead in a tunnel that had once been dug by German prisoners.  Alongside the body is another dagger; this one engraved in German.

Although the crimes have been committed on Guernsey, Moretti is sure that there is a connection to Italy, so he travels there in search of answers.  While there, a material witness is killed back on Guernsey.  Looking through the victim's possessions, Moretti comes up with a clue as to who could be behind the killings.

Author Jill Downie's murder mystery finishes with a lot of action at the end.  I found that her writing was full of material that seemed to be filler, however it was a good read.
