Spooky serial killers in my favorite city
4 stars
I love Rome, so I enjoy picking up books that use it as a background. I had no high expectations, and so I was a bit blown away with how much I loved this. I enjoyed Sandra Verga, the female protagonist and forensic analyst, who comes to Rome to investigate her husband's death. Turns out he was involving a secret society of the Catholic church and came too close.
I did not care for the framing plot much and think the book would have been just as fine without the confusing time and place jumps so I can only hope it was there for a reason for the follow-up book involving Marcus and Sandra. I really dug this.
