I almost feel guilty giving this book just 3-stars... it was good, but absolutely not great.

Gabriel is no longer head of "The Office" and is now back in Italy in retirement.

And so begins a problem... an old friend comes to him for help and there it all begins. For me the story was very predictable... each bit of the story could have been a bit from another story. Yes, it was very predictable... and not in a good way. But it was also missing something... Gabriel's team. I missed each and every one of them and I realized how much they make the story for me. This was definitely a miss for me, however ymmv.

(2.5 stars round up to three)

sort of boring

I love this series but the last few (including this one) follow a pattern that is old and boring. Not a lot of drama or action. Getting stale….
