I enjoyed this a lot more than I at first expected to (it was a gift, and I hadn’t heard of the author before this). Entertaining police-procedural thriller set in Rome and featuring Alex Blume, an ex-patriot American who was orphaned in Rome as a teenager and is now a senior detective in the Polizia. Despite continuing conflicts with his superiors and colleagues, Blume investigates the murder of an animal-rights activist and encounters a psychopathic killer.

The author himself has lived in Rome for some years, and he brings the modern city to life in this novel. I enjoyed this so much that I bought the next in the series as an ebook and I’m looking forward to reading it.… (plus d'informations)

I enjoyed this story of a detective in Rome but not as much as the Donna Leon books. There wasn't quite the same sense of place. I also felt there were a few idiosyncrasies that irritated, the main one being speeds and distances in imperial rather than metric.

Read to the end. American who grew up in Italy (a bit of a mystery around who helped him after his parents were killed) and became a policeman. The dogs here mostly dog fighting. I read to the end. But this always seemed like something of a duty. (On my new Kindle Fire.)
