review 1: It's been a while since I've read a suspenseful murder mystery. This was great -- very dark and twisty. I was glued to this all day; hard to put down. The story revolves around several story lines that bring together Sandra, a forensic photographer whose husband was murdered; M...

review 1: This book was recommended by the friend who got me hooked on the Gabriel Allon series, so I was anxious to read it. The story line takes place mostly in Rome but other locales are portrayed descriptively. Two parallel stories follow several major characters with a few surprisin...

review 1: This is a read very much in the style of Dan Brown and his "mysteries" involving ancient rites and traditions of the Catholic church. In this story, someone is giving the opportunity for revenge to persons who have been affected by crime involving the loss of a loved one. It ju...

review 1: To start, I have to admit that part of my enjoyment of this book is biased owing to the fact that I bought it in Rome during my honeymoon, so reading about different piazzas and basilicas that I had visited in person was a fun experience in itself!That being said, this has become...

review 1: I randomly picked this book at the library. It amazed me.The plot,the parallel storylines that all lead to one story at the end.What made an impression on me were two things. Firstly, how much is hidden from us in this world,how many things are disgused and in shaddow. That's the...

review 1: E' il primo che leggo di Carrisi e confermo che non è necessario conoscere le vicende precedenti. Mi ha tenuto incollata alle pagine. Ogni omicidio si collega subito al successivo, ma senza che la trama si ingarbugli.Tutti i dettagli si intrecciano, dai personaggi secondari alle ...

review 1: This was an interesting, twisting tale by Donato Carrisi. Sandra Vega is our protagonist throughout the story, although at least half the book is about the elusive and mysterious priest, Marcus. The only problem I had with the book was that I had trouble keeping track of all the ...

review 1: This is the creepiest thriller I've read in a long time, and my family is always saying I'm desensitized by how many horror, supernatural, and murder mysteries I read. Carrisi does a good job of interweaving minute details throughout his book, and by the time I finished after mid...

review 1: Interesting to read, due to lots of reviews and hype. Very non specific country, difficult to identify from the translation it was an Italian writer the story set in Italy. Therefore a genetic crime story based anywhere. Some might call it sterile considering the story line invol...

review 1: Un autre execellent roman. Malgré quelques petites lacunes, les personnages sont intéressants, mais pas attachants outremesure, et les petis notions théoriques glissées sous formes de mise à niveau pour Mila semblent décousues et se glissent mal dans le texte, il n,Y en a que tro...

review 1: Lo Positivo: Es un libro entretenido y que engancha (casi de la mitad en adelante). La historia tiene muchos giros y hay situaciones que sorprenden al lector. Lo negativo: situaciones poco creíbles, como forzadas para hacer la historia más llamativa. No se sabe el país o ciudad d...

review 1: Un buon libro anche questo. Complimenti per la suspense e per le continue sorprese che ci riserva capitolo dopo capitolo. Mentre lo leggevo pensavo ad un puzzle, le cui tessere si agganciano alla fine per darti la visione dell'intero mosaico... Forse la "pecca" sta proprio nel nu...

review 1: Just finished the book. And yes, it is not the best book I have ever read, but it does have some charm. I thought for a while how I should rate it, almost gave it four stars, to be honest... The idea is good, and you can learn a lot of ineresting things (at least I did), and the ...
