I loved this book! In simple terms it was fun, colourful, and made me feel more knowledgeable about Italian culture, and the relationships between people of it’s different major cities. I would say that the murder (of which the book is based around) is not the main emphasis of the story, which may be disappointing for some. When it is revealed who, how and with what the murder happened, it is satisfying, however not majorly shocking or fascinating. The majority of the book is listening to different characters moaning about how much they hate each other, which I honestly enjoyed, but I can imagine could get irritating. Just a really fascinating and interesting book!
