review 1: This was an interesting, complex Sicilian detective novel, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.The plot was too labyrinthine, and the story too procedural for my taste. And, I cringe to admit this, but there were too many characters that I couldn't keep straight (good cops vs. nasty, political cops).I admired the protagonist and found his personal relationships very interesting, but in general I prefer a book with fewer work-a-day details. I spent too many years over-working myself to want to re-live someone else's interminably long days at the office.Maybe that's why I gravitate to novels of manners where no one ever REALLY does anything and nothing really happens . . . . .

The references to Freemasonry and the Albanian Eastern Mafioso were cleverly intertwined throughout the plot to keep you intrigued as Operation Stella unfolded. With the Italian towns of Carrara, Massa and Montecatini in the background, mixed in with character names such as Ciuffi, Serpico, Rizzo, Chief Superintendent Mazzorelli, Deputy Prosecutors Anna Giulietti and Erminia Cosenza and Simonetta Palladiani and Massimo, the reader feels deeply immersed in an italian crime thriller. A quote from Petra: "She felt guilty about her friend and mortified by her husband's thoughtlessness. She loved Italy, her adopted country, but she didn't always like the Italians' devil-may-care attitude, which was so different from German rigour. In important things, she found that rigour - and admired it... less
