review 1: This story is set in Italy, and it starts out with a mother killing herself. Two private detectives get together to work the case trying to figure out why a new mother would do such a thing. There are many underlining stories with this one. The father of the child is a politician, the mother in law never liked her daughter in law. Not good enough for her son. The wife of one of the detectives was dealing with the after affects from cancer. The other detective thinking it could be postpartum and still thinking maybe the father did it not knowing why? I thought with all of this going on that it would take away from the story but it did not. It added to it and then it turned on me at the end for a twist that I did not see coming. A very good mystery in who don... moree it?
review 2: I kept thinking I was going to give up on this book and yet it was sort of compelling. I think there's something a bit implausible about the resolution of the mystery, but the characters kept me going. I like them. This is the fourth in a series--I've read two, three and this one. (Never got the first.) I recommend it. Modern Florence. Not as much focus on food as Donna Leon, but I like the people. less
