Critics Review
Nabb peels back the tourist facade of one of the world’s most enchanting cities to reveal greed and lust, violence and depravity… Salvatore Guarnaccia [is] one of the most likeable sleuths to grace crime fiction… A hauntingly atmospheric tragedy * Glasgow Herald *
Guarnaccia is one of fiction’s most satisfying detectives, a man whose domestic life is as fascinating as his cases… the series began with Death of an Englishman and is distinguished by its superb sense of place * The Times ‘One Hundred Masters of Crime’ *
Magdalen Nabb’s books are set in a Florence so vividly brought to life that I long to go back there after reading each one. * Sunday Telegraph *
Guarnaccia continues to impress as the most convincingly human of modern detectives and his creator as a writer of deep and rare dimension * Observer *
