Il commissario Bordelli

review 1: The third book of Inspector Bordelli is not to be read for a good whodunnit. The book treats more the question of right and wrong and the moral answer to that question. Nontheless the picture the writer paints for us of 1965 Italy is perfect! The characters in the book are given depth, and thoughts and doubts that are very recognizeable. The book paints a human picture, which you do not see to often anymore.
review 2: Loved this book, the third in Italian author Marco Vichi's series set in 1960s Florence, Italy. Wry Inspector Bordelli and his cronies are back in a novel that calls on dark memories of the war and Fascism in Italy. All is leavened with great dollops of droll humor and companionable, lengthy dinners wherein much wine is consumed. (Over Christma... mores dinner, Bordelli and his pals decide that French cooking rules the world. Yes. French.) Very highly recommended. I can't wait for the next title, "Death in Florence," set in 1966 and focusing on the flood that roared through the city, overwhelming its medieval palazzos and churches, damaging so much precious artwork and taking lives. One quibble. The books are translated from the Italian, and while that must be a daunting task, I wish the translator would NOT refer to the men who populate these books as "blokes." These and other decidedly English terms pepper the book throughout and are distracting. less
