I fell in love with the gorgeous and colourful cover and fell in love with the story, brilliant and colourful.
A well plotted, riveting and entertaining story that made me smile and kept me hooked. Great world building and character development.
Highly recommended.

It's a hell of a good book that kept me on the edge: creepy, well plotted, it never stops being intriguing and suspenseful.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
Highly recommended.

This is one of the most entertaining, weird, and funny urban fantasy series I read in these years. It's highly recommended as it's endless fun.
Can't wait to read the third book.
Highly recommended.

A delightful, witty, and highly entertaining story featuring strong and well rounded characters.
There's life, there's the relationship amongst people living in the same house, and there's the possibility of a new future.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Highly recommended.

The perfect book at the right moment: it made me travel, discover new places, learn more about the ecosystem of the places visited.
Loved the storytelling
Highly recommended.

As I'm a bit unobservant I didn't notice this is the third in a series so I think I missed something.
I had fun, liked both Nineve and Morty but I missed part of the world building.
I will try to read the rest of the series and read this one again.
It's 3.5 upped to 4 on my side but I'm sure the rating would be higher after reading the other books.

4.5 upped to 5
This is a book set after COVID pandemic but with strong links to the so-called Years of Lead, one of the most complex age in Italian history as there was a lot of political violence, a real deep state and real complot to subvert the democracy, and thousands of deaths.
If you lived during those year as I did you will find this book riveting and disturbing at the same time.
It's not the best mystery in the series but it's important to understand how the characters in the series converted their political extremism in desire to fight for justice.
I think it could be a bit confusing if you don't know what happened in Italy and it's an interesting take on a tragic historical moment.
Donna Leon did an excellent job and the historical background is well researched.
i want to know more about Alvise, Sara, and the nuns
I found the solution a bit rushed but I couldn't stop reading till I turned the last page.
Highly recommended.

The gorgeous cover and the blurb attracted me and I found the book informative and well researched.
I know I'm a minority but I wasn't a fan of the style of writing that I found a bit too emphatic at times.
I found the historical part more interesting than the memoir but it was compelling read as the two parts mixes well.
Recommended.

Tomorrow was a novel I loved and was curious about this new book by Damian Dibben.
It's a more traditional novel that brought to Reinassance Venice and kept me reading as I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The author is a talented storyteller and this story features interesting characters and a well researched and vivid historical background.
Giorgione is one of the greatest innovator of Renaissance and there's a lot of strength in his paint.
The author did an excellent job in developing the characters and the atmosphere of this complex age
I enjoyed it and it's highly recommended.

It was the first book I read by Sebastian Barry and I loved it.
It's not an easy read: it talks about violence, tragic moments in Irish history and the influx of the Catholic church.
It could be a tragedy but there's almost a dreamlike atmosphere at times.
Roseanne is the ultime unreliable narrator but, at the same time, she's able to give us her vision of history and of her life.
The storytelling and the style of writing are exception and I loved every moment of this story
Highly recommended.
