Praise for The Palazzo:
'It seems there's little [Nunn] can't handle, because this slow-burn crime book delivers' Daily Telegraph 5/5 stars
'A brilliantly twisty thriller in a beautiful setting. I couldn't put this down' Pip Drysdale
'The Palazzo is an absorbing and hugely enjoyable read with rich characters and a layered plot. This sophisticated novel will whisk you away from everyday life and immerse you in the Italian mountainside, which turns out to be as deadly as it is idyllic' B.M. Carroll
'A perfectly plotted mystery in a delicious setting, full of characters struggling to hide their darkest selves. I was turning the pages faster and faster, my theories constantly tested until the final page. The Palazzo is the very best kind of absorbing storytelling' Sara Foster
'One of my favourite reads of 2025 - I raced through this Italian holiday thriller in just two days! Worth reading for the sumptuous food descriptions and dreamy location alone, this story is a twisty and addictive mystery with echoes of White Lotus. Captivating, seductive and a whole lot of fun - this is a story to be devoured. Another stunning five-star read, and comes with my highest recommendation!' Sarah Jones
