Reviews

Petruzziello’s loving descriptions of Milan’s streets, galleries, and cafés are worth the price of admission.
– Publishers Weekly (contains spoilers)

A sharp, edgy caper with a final surprise.
– Kirkus Reviews (full review) (contains spoilers)

I felt as though I was watching an old black and white film noir as I read it. The author gives a classic touch to the story and adds various turns to keep you guessing till the end.
– Rajiv’s Reviews (contains spoilers)

The many twists and turns with international touches will reward readers of noir fiction…
– Feathered Quill (full review) (contains spoilers)

…a fun page-turner that has it all…romance, mystery, and cocktails! A perfect escape that is hard to put down…
5 stars
– Amazon.com reader review

No matter how morbid things get, Lorenzo Petruzziello never loses the wit and humor of the tale. I feel an urge to read this book again…

I go to bed with its sleep mode every night, and wake up to the radio alarm in the morning. It has detachable speakers, a remote controller, a CD player, and double casette player/recorder on top - but I rarely use those. 😎
