    The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston (ehines)
    ehines: Very different books in terms of tone--one a rather disturbing true-crime, the other a sardonic murder mystery. But both have some interesting insights into late 20th-century Italy.

Momenti di puro godimento.
Personaggi, situazioni, luoghi, citazioni, tutto risuona e risuona bene. Feel good!

Una serie di omicidi nella Torino bene degli anni '70. Un ironico scrivere di personaggi, manie, atteggiamenti e stili di vita che si riconoscono nella vita di tutti.

La soluzione più imprevedibile, per il motivo meno evidente.

Un giallo con lo stile del salotto torinese. ( )

The book that answers the burning question: What if Jane Austen smoked pot?

This book's fixation with the intricate niceties of human interaction (or, at least, upper-class Turinese interaction) is almost maddening . . . but not quite enough to make this an impossible read.

A slight, but solid mystery/comedy of manners. Reading this novel can be slow going (it took me almost 2 weeks to finish), but the focus is very tight and it's tough to lose the string, and there are rewards for you patience. ( )

Both an elegant mystery, a love story, and a novel of manners and class, THE SUNDAY WOMAN is a neglected classic. ( )
