Death of a Dutchman

Death of a Dutchman (1982) Magdalen Nabb

Marshal Guarnaccia decides to to stop and check on Signora Giusti while doing his rounds with the hotels. Signora Giusti is an old woman who constantly calls to make complaints. Her complaints are always groundless, but they check on her anyway, because they recognize that she is a lonely old woman, and more than anything just wants someone to listen to her.

This time, however, there were grounds to her complaint, which the Marshal discovers too late.

I just spent forty-five minutes trying to explain why I just couldn’t get into this book, and then my post was eaten.

There was nothing wrong with this book, I just didn’t enjoy it. Won’t give up on this series entirely, but not in a hurry to read more.
