Temporary Perfections by Gianrico Carofiglio

5.0

Gianrico Carafiglio opens Temporary Perfections by casting the reader into a dream like state as he describes a chance meeting of minds between the protagonist, Guido Geurrieri, a defence lawyer, and a shy cab driver. The two strike up an intriguing conversation based on the books piled on the seat next to the cab driver. Carafiglio continues to ride the states between being attentive and day dreaming as the plot involving a missing young woman unfolds. The tension created makes for a compelling read.
