robinwalter 's review for:

Death at the Villa by Moray Dalton
3.75
dark mysterious reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: N/A
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The atmosphere is marvellous, lavishly detailed descriptions of the Italian setting.  The story is much more complex, and the characters far more nuanced than the Collier stories
