Title: Death in August Subtitle: Inspector Bordelli, Book 1 Author: Marco Vichi, Stephen Sartarelli - translation Narrator: Tim Bruce Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-18 Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Crime fiction packed with Italian flavour, Death in August is the first Inspector Bordelli mystery set in 1960s' Florence - perfect for fans of Andrea Camilleri or Donna Leon. Florence, summer 1963. Inspector Bordelli is one of the few policemen left in the deserted city. He spends his days on routine work and his nights tormented by the heat and mosquitoes. Suddenly one night, a telephone call gives him a new sense of purpose: the suspected death of a wealthy Signora. Bordelli rushes to her hilltop villa and picks the locks. 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 protégé, the victim's eccentric brother and a semiretired petty thief, the inspector begins a murder investigation. Each suspect has a solid alibi, but there is something that doesn't quite add up.... Members Reviews: A murder mystery in the grand tradition A wonderful whodunnit chock full of quirky characters, unexpected twists-and-turns, and the richness of Italy's landscape, culture, and cuisine. It reads fast and keeps one's interest. A nice book An Italian crime book. The protagonists are the weather, extremely hot, the loneliness of the police inspector who has some friends. All these friends are lonely too. The story is not really important. The thoughts of the police man are. These thoughts are about the people in the story and people from earlier days. A central place in the book is the fantastic diner the police inspector has organized for his lonely friends. Among these friends are some small criminals, an aristocratic inventor, an old police doctor, a young Sardinian police inspector. And it is terrible hot, suffocating hot. Such a strange but impelling story. I don't know why I read this story avidly. It is very atmospheric-the heat is the principal character. The police officer is not terribly likable, though I heartily approve of his attitude to some of his criminal friends. In fact all his friends are unusual. The war stories seemed likely so true. I don't usually like stories of people who seem trapped in a kind of basic unhappiness. This is a horrible review. Sorry. The Introspective Detective I enjoyed Death in Sardinia, the latest in the series, so went back to this first Inspector Bordelli mystery. It's a good read. Bordelli is a unique character. His unorthodox procedures and flashbacks to Resistance days create a refreshing dimension to the typical police character. Bordelli's friends are an equally interesting set of colorful characters. I was happy to meet them here as I liked them very much in the latest book.. The story overall is moderately paced but held my interest throughout. The "solution" is clever and the ending satisfying. I've become a Bordelli fan and look forward to reading the other books in the series. Good Mystery with local color Good tale with local color - an enjoyable read and a good mystery.
