review 1: This book is not a light read, but overall an enjoyable one.The book intertwines present-day murders with past events in Italy during WWII. It takes a very human look at how 'ordinary people can do extraordinary things' during a time of crisis. The book also looks at love, betrayal, bravery, and the difficult choices people were forced to make during the Nazi occupation of Europe.I enjoyed the complexity of the characters and the plot. I will be looking for other books by this author.
