I really wanted to read this since it just sounded so good but something was lost in translation for me along the way.
I thought this was going to be an edge of your seat mystery, but it was not. There was no tension or buildup everything just happened and there was no surprise. The characters were just all so drab and there were a lot of words and phrases in Italian that was annoying and didn't add a whole lot to the story.
I also did not like the way the story was narrated, it was a third person telling the story but at times it seemed like it was first person which was confusing on why the author did it that way. I think it would have been more effective if the story was told first person, it just seemed like a mess. At the end of the story it definitely left the door open for a sequel but I would not pick that one up since this one seemed like it was never going to end. The only good thing about this book is the cover which I really liked.
