Publisher's summary

In the sweltering heat of a Bologna summer, a murderer plans their pièce de résistance....

"Only in Bologna" reads the headline in the Carlino after a professor of music is apparently murdered leaving the opera. But what looks like an open-and-shut case begins to fall apart when English detective Daniel Leicester is tasked with getting the accused man off, and a trail that begins among Bologna's close-knit classical music community leads him to suspect there may be a serial killer at large in the oldest university in the world. And as Bologna trembles with aftershocks following a recent earthquake, the city begins to give up her secrets.

Critic reviews

"A slow-burning, tense and brooding thriller." (The Herald Scotland)

Difficult to Follow

I'm not sure if it was a poor translation or just poorly written. I found the plot difficult to follow. Transitions between events were confusing. I found the character description unclear. The Italian names also added to the muddle. The narrator was not the most effective, either. He sounded too old and stuffy.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
