Salaseura by Michael Dibdin

3.0

It just gets sillier and sillier until it seems like a parody of the first two books. There was some interesting stuff about the jurisdictional weirdness between Italy and the Vatican at the beginning, and some cool curia characters, but then, like I said, it gets very silly. Comedy of errors, a goofball fashionista, bizarrely complicated murders, and then a cuh-razy aristocrat with a doll collection... did he steal that from Raj Kapoor's 1973 film Bobby? Which is not to say that I didn't like it. I did. Just not as much as the first two.
