Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I can barely wait for Book 2 ! Inspector Bordelli's character has been beautifully described and he does come to life as do the places mentioned in the book. Loved the peripheral characters and their history with Bordelli, the young protege with history and the charming prostitute friend. I finished the book in one read, was like listening to someone talk about their dysfunctional and yet close knit family - Bordelli's life and friends.
LOVED THIS BOOK ! HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for a good light mystery. Nice wit thrown in as well.

The old woman is lying on her bed - apparently killed by an asthma attack, though her medicine has been left untouched. With the help of his young protege, the victim's eccentric brother, and a semi-retired petty thief, the inspector begins a murder investigation. Each suspect has a solid alibi, but there is something that doesn't quite add up ...
