Inspector Grazia Negro

review 1: Grazia Negro Blues Il ciclo moderno di Lucarelli continua qui con una ancor maggiore losangelizzazione emiliana, nella fattispecie di Bologna. Dove Macchiavelli insiste a salvare il salvabile della sua Signora Perbene, per Lucarelli non solo non � perbene ma non � nemmeno una signora. Teso, concitato, ben spolverato e riverniciato e con numerosi spunti nuovi, non ultima una investigatrice donna moderna e plausibile e per nulla ruffiana (Lucarelli ha tenuto le orecchie aperte in questi anni) � certamente da leggere assieme a Lupo Mannaro (prequel) e Un giorno dopo l'altro(sequel). Scritto in tre stili per ognuno dei personaggi principali assassino incluso. Grazia Negro ci piace, s� e pure Chet Baker ne � degna musica.
review 2: A novella (at o... morenly 169 pages) that is a real page turner. Its brevity perhaps does not allow for as much character development and background as would be ideal. It is, however, a very creative work with some unique characters and with a story spoken from different characters’ points of view. There are some interesting insights into the worlds of the mentally ill, the blind, as well as being a woman and living in a misogynistic culture and profession. And any book that makes so much reference to jazz and Chet Baker can’t be all bad! It would have been nice if the book were another fifty pages or so to provide some meaningful background or better context to the story. But all in all, I think that Lucarelli does pack a wallop in this 169 page “action thriller”. less
