Italian Police Procedural
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
While I prefer Donna Leon's Venetian series featuring Commissioner Brunetti, I still enjoyed this intriguing novel set in Florence. Leon's strength is in her characters, while Nabb's seems to be in the day-to-day workings of the Carabinieri. I would compare this (favorably) with Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series - without the humor. I look forward to reading another of Nabb's, specifically "The Marshall at the Villa Torini" - which has been very hard to track down until a new re-publishing of it this month. As for those who didn't like "Death in Autumn", all I can say is there are worse ways of spending a couple of hours.
Another great Nabb

Nabb cannot be beat for descriptions of Florence. The city comes alive as the Marshall quietly and intelligently solves the mystery. What mystery? Read it and see!
