review 1: A great story. Incredible description that threw me off my guard. I love a book that can make me feel just as uncomfortable as it would make the character if they were real.Not my favourite, but I would read it again. The realism that comes with Mr. Giuttari's experience in Italian Police and Crime is second to none.I am growing more fond of Mr. Giuttari's writing and cannot wait to read more.
review 2: A Death in Tuscany is a competent police procedural set in Florence and its surrounds. It’s author used to be head of the Florence police and he knows his procedural details, giving a good insight into how the Italian system works with its divisions between state police, carabinieri and prosecutor’s office. Ferrara is a political astute cop, dedicated to t... morehe job, with a healthy disregard for his superiors and liked by his colleagues, and a happy home life. The story is well paced and the characterisation is nicely observed, particularly some of Ferrara’s colleagues. Although the story draws the reader into the investigation and Tuscany region, there are a number of elements that seem a little fanciful, especially the linking of the two main threads, the binding of various players and conspiracy elements that work to undermine its credibility somewhat. Overall, a solid read that deals with some difficult issues. less
