The suspense carries over to the last page. Prepare for a surprise Daily Mail A light and bright read for those tired with the thud and blunder school of crime writing Crime Review The sort of story that Sherlock Holmes might have narrated after a bit too much opium Shiny New Books Chiara saves his most original touch until last,with an audacious ending that readers will find either refreshingly ambiguous or maddeningly open-ended The National The real mystery is why English readers have been deprived of Chiara's playful detective stories for so long. Crime Scene Any devotee of noir crime will enjoy this little sojourn into domestic noir in pure Italian style Raven Crime Reads Ultimately a disquieting and unexpected read... It's short and cleanly written and translated and if you're anything at all like me it'll still trouble you after you've turned the final page. What more could one really ask for Pechorin's Journal The Disappearance of Signora Giulia is an unconventional,compelling crime novel His Futile Preoccupations Chiara... acutely and sardonically critiques the false righteousness of the local (Lombardian) bourgeoisie Il Domenicale del Diritto Perfectly structured and paced... Excellent Lankelot
