Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. 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.

At the Bar Lume, in a small seaside town where everyone knows everyone else, barman Massimo and four old-timers pass the time, between hands of cards and shots of coffee, chatting, arguing and theorising about the murder of a young woman in their town. When her body is found stuffed in a bin, the girl's lifestyle has everyone thinking her death must have something to do with the world of drug trafficking and dangerous sex she inhabited. The group of old friends at the Bar Lume begin to pull the case apart, forcing barman Massimo into the role of amateur sleuth. No library descriptions found. |

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!
