review 1: A fun discovery -- the first book in a mystery series that takes place in Sicily in the late 1800, with a midwife and widow as a sleuth. Though there were a few sections that dragged a little, it was a great story that brought in all the elements of a good mystery that kept you guessing. Ms. Anderson's storytelling voice and plotting with a great cast of characters who are intertwined reminds me of my favorite mystery writer Anne Perry. Can't wait to read the next one in this series.
review 2: In 1866 three prostitutes are knifed to death in Sicily Italy. The police are not helpful so the Madam asks her best friend, a widow, to find the killer. Added to that it is six years after the unification and Sicily is in chaos. Bandits rule the hills, waves of ... morecholera kill thousands, and the mafia is for the first time exerting is reign of terror. This book is very well written and in addition, gives a good insight into Italy and Sicily in the 1800s. less
