"Love to read Dibdin's books. Each fun mystery takes place in a different locale in Italy. Zen is a quirky kind of Italian policeman. Solves the crimes despite his ambition to do so."
"Lichtvoetigste deel van de Aurelio Zen-reeks, maar daarom niet minder genietbaar. Er wordt gespeeld met zowat alle Italiaanse clichés, er zijn hopen culturele referenties, inclusief een semioticus die overduidelijk gebaseerd is op Umberto Eco en een plot en stijl die carnavalesk en een beetje onnozel zijn. Fijne commedia dell'arte of zoiets. (***1/2)"
"This was a great thriller. Just the right thing to read on holiday. You could tell that the author had spent a long time in Italy and knows the culture well."
