Praise for Magdalen Nabb:
"Every word should be savored."-Washington Post Book World
"The best mystery news in ages is that Soho is restoring to the canon Magdalen Nabb and her tremendous creation, Marshal Guarnaccia of the Italian Police in Florence."-Chicago Tribune
"Exquisite."-The New York Times Book Review
"Nabb continues to extend conventions of the police procedural to suit her own intriguing vision and purpose."-Philadelphia Inquirer

As a previous reviewer mentioned - this book does a brilliant job of describing August in Florence. The heat is so pervasive, it is like a third character. This book starts so slowly, it almost meanders - we are "with" the Marshal through every step of his sweating August. It seems to gather momentem in the final third, rather like a horse race - (I read that Magdalen Nabb was a great rider). I think you have to be in the mood for a book like this - it is not going to pick you up and take you ... Read More

I was very disappointed with the two "Marshal" books that I bought. Yes, it is fun to re-visit Florence, but that is the end of the attraction. The author seems to have failed the basic class in mystery writing--developing plot and character through action. Long explanations substitute for action. I did not feel I knew the characters and did not care much about them.

If you've never read a mystery by Magdalen Nabb I envy you the treat you're about to enjoy. This is one in the series of Marshall Guarnacia novels set in Florence Italy. It is one of the hottest days of summer. The city is mostly empty since everyone has left on holiday so the Marshall decides to take advantage of the calm to teach his wife to drive. They have barely begun the lesson when there is an outcry in the next street. In the space of a moment, the Marshall's wife and his dreams of peace ... Read More
