Ci si può maledire per avere tenuto questo libro tra quelli da leggere per tantissimo tempo?
Certo! Perché questo giallo è uno tra più simpatici, ironici e divertenti che abbia mai letto.
Mi sono letteralmente innamorata di Ampelio, Aldo, Gino e Pilade, che sotto l’occhio “toscanaccio” di Massimo passano le loro giornate al BarLume a giocare a carte, discutere, accapigliarsi e a ... risolvere delitti.
Un giallo ironico e divertente, ma proprio tanto!

Non e' scritto male, ma purtoppo una buona scrittura non compensa una trama poliziesca decisamente traballante. A seconda di come viene letto, puo' risultare telefonatissimo dalle prime pagine, oppure si vede saltar fuori il colpevole all'improvviso senza mai entrare nella vicenda. Qualche pagina in piu' sarebbe stata decisamente utile. ( )

This story has all the elements established by Agatha Christie. An inexplicable murder in a small town where everyone knows a bit of secrets. A Greek Chorus of pensioners who provide bits of those secrets. An amateur detective ( a bar owner) who uses his little grey cells, puts the clues together and figures out who did it. I did not see it coming. I want more! ( )

Esile, nonostante il "barrista" simpatico e l'accento toscano e poi il colpevole si capisce più o meno a metà libro. ( )

Quando cominci a ciondolarti sulle gambe, quando ti accendi un'altra sigaretta per far passare altri cinque minuti anche se hai la gola che ti brucia e la bocca talmente impastata da credere di aver mangiato un copertone, così anche gli altri se ne accendono una e si sta lì ancora un po', insomma quando è così è veramente ora di andare a letto.
