Too Many Murders by Colleen McCullough

3.0

I came across this book in a library about twelve months ago. The cover got my attention immediatly so I gave it a try and I bought it after having read the first five pages.

When I arrived home, I left it in my shelve dedicated to books pending to read. As I had to read some books before, I wasn't able to read it until April and I read it again in August.

I really liked the book. It was a mix of everything: anger, jealousy, love, action, mistery, forensic science, different perspective and antique police procedure. It all resulted in Too Many Murders, the second case in where Carmine Delmonico is the detective.

It wasn't engaging, but it was interesting. I was able to finish it in more or less three weeks, and I really enjoyed the way Colleen McCullough connected the dots across the novel. It had some interesting characters, Erica Davenport mainly, which allowed the writer to create a final and unexpected turn in the story.

I'm definitely reading the book in the future, and I strongly recommend it to crime novels fans.
