Death and The Olive Grove by Marco Vichi


Synopsis :

April 1964, and the cruelest month is breeding bad weather and worse news. And plenty of disturbing news is coming to Florence detective Inspector Bordelli.Bordelli’s friend, Casimiro, insists he’s discovered the body of a man in a field above Fiesole. Bordelli races to the scene, but doesn’t find any sign of a corpse.

Only a couple of days later, a little girl is found at Villa Ventaglio. She has been strangled, and there is a horrible bite mark on her belly. Then another young girl is found murdered, with the same macabre signature.And meanwhile Casimiro has disappeared without a trace.

This new investigation marks the start of one of the darkest periods of Bordelli’s life: a nightmare without end, as black as the sky above Florence.


This is what I say :

I was rather apprehensive to read this title.  It wasn't a thick book but the cover image does remind me of No 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series which I do love.  Such, decided to give it a try.  

It was nothing like No 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series.  Totally different.  It wasn't my cup of tea, so to say.  Didn't like the main characters.  He wasn't very nice (in my own definition of nice) and I feel he is rather incompetent in his task.

However, I did read it till the end for reason of being curiosity about the story line and that's basically the only reason so.

I actually have two more titles by this author that features this detective inspector.  I won't be reading them.
