Review:

'Once again [Vichi's] depiction of Italian history and culture is both fascinating and complex . . . a sharply observed slice of crime fiction with real depth.' * www.crimetime.co.uk * 'Vichi's stellar first in a new mystery series introduces endearingly melancholic Inspector Bordelli . . . [and] delivers a plausible solution worthy of a golden age crime novel. Readers will look forward to seeing more of this flawed hero.' * Publishers Weekly, starred review for DEATH IN AUGUST * 'Over the course of his police procedurals, Vichi shows us ever more secret and dark sides to an otherwise sunny and open city. But his happiest creation, in my opinion, remains the character of Inspector Bordelli, a disillusioned anti-hero who is difficult to forget.' * Andrea Camilleri * '[Italian] writers are justifiably growing in popularity here: Marco Vichi deserves to be among them . . . [Bordelli] is stubborn, womanless, cynical and impatient, but strangely appealing.' * Marcel Berlins, The Times * 'Vichi's crime novels are enjoyable, mystifying and well worth reading.' * Literary Review * Satisfyingly realistic police procedural . . . DEATH IN FLORENCE confirms Vichi's place in the vanguard of the new wave of Italian crime writers. * Irish Times * 'A real find for anyone who likes their crime novels atmospheric, discursive, humorous and thought-provoking.' * Guardian * A typically intriguing and thought-provoking Vichi crime novel and will be appreciated by both new readers and established fans alike. * Good Book Guide on DEATH IN FLORENCE * A rich, detailed, traditional detective story . . . The descriptions of Florence are delicious, dripping with atmosphere * Saga magazine on DEATH IN FLORENCE * Brilliantly evoking a society in crisis, Marco Vichi has given us a crime novel that is moving and memorable. * Daily Mail on DEATH IN FLORENCE *
