Just One Evil Act by Elizabeth George
3.0

I enjoyed this book but it is very long - longer than it probably needed to be. It could have benefitted from some editing. The introduction of the wonderful character Inspector Salvatore Lo Bianco felt like a TV series setting up a spin off. Although I wouldn't object to a series of Lo Bianco mysteries! And his interactions with Barbara Havers are a highlight of the book. As other reviewers have noted, a lot of Italian is included without translation. In some cases, context clues provided an explanation, but far too often I had to use a translator, which disrupted the flow of reading the book.
