Mi è piaciuta la figura del protagonista e di alcuni personaggi che gli girano attorno.
Ma da un libro ambientato ai tempi del fascismo mi aspettavo molto più relativo all'aspetto storico, piuttosto che la parte sovrannaturale. In questo senso, avrebbe potuto essere ambientato in qualsiasi altro periodo eccetto questo.
E poi non sono dell'umore di accettare, nemmeno en passant, che un femminicidio sia fatto passare per amore folle.

michael_k's review against another edition
Δεν ήταν άσχημο σαν αστυνομικό, είχε αρκετό ενδιαφέρον ιδίως επειδή επικεντρωνόταν στον κόσμο της όπερας αλλά και η ιστορική περίοδος, η φασιστική Ιταλία παρουσίαζε μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον. Εκείνο που βρήκα αχρείαστο ήταν το μεταφυσικό "χάρισμα" του ήρωα που δεν νομίζω ότι πρόσθεσε κάτι τόσο σημαντικό που να το δικαιολογεί.

“Me gustaría veros, sintiendo todo ese dolor constante, perenne, de todo tipo, ese dolor que os pide paz, os reclama justicia desde siempre, todos los días.”
¿Alguien me podría explicar ese final?

An enjoyable read, a little different to a typical detective fiction given the paranormal aspects of it.
A fun and enjoyable plot, interesting characters and of course a lovely setting in Naples.

3.5 stars. Enjoyable mystery set in 1930s Naples -- an interesting mix of noir & The Sixth Sense. Compelling enough that I read the entire book in one sitting. As always, this is a lovely edition from Europa publishing, a part of their "World Noir" series. Recommended.
