Summary
Naples, 1931. A bitter wind stalks the city streets, and murder lies at its chilled heart. When Maestro Vezzi, one of the world's greatest tenors, is found brutally murdered in his dressing room at Naples' famous San Carlo theater, the enigmatic and aloof Commissario Ricciardi is called to investigate. Arrogant and bad-tempered, Vezzi was hated by many. But with the livelihoods of the opera at stake, who would have committed such a callous act?
Ricciardi and his loyal colleague Maione are determined to discover the truth, but Ricciardi carries a secret of his own. Will it help him solve this murder?

An Unusual Take on the Murder Mystery
Of all the differently conflicted detectives I have read about , this one is the most unusual. It took me a while to get into the story, but after a while it became compelling. The narration has a rather bleak tone which fits very well with the era and the story, putting me in mind of a black and white film

Muddled storyline
The concept of the book is good. I like the period in which it is set and the social picture of life in pre WW2 italy. It is a different tack with a detective story. However the narrator doesn't really have any variation in characterisation, it feels very flat. An additional issue is the insertion of a main character in the plot near the end of the book and the way it is done is poor. l enjoyed the picture of Italian social issues during the period of facisim and how the people of this period lived their lives.

sorry but totally let down by the narrator
I think if I've been able to read this or or listen to it in the Italian I would have loved it I think it has all the makings of a great story and great characters however I could not cope with the narrator and gave up after 30 minutes; because some of the pronunciation for me as an italian speaker was beyond excruciating and I'm very sorry I'm sure he's a professional but no, not for me which is a shame because I had really been looking forward to this one
