Il commissario Bordelli
Il commissario Bordelli: Un'indagine del commissario Bordelli | Marco Vichi
7 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
Il commissario Bordelli, un antieroe disilluso ma assolutamente autentico nelle ragioni del suo esistere. Un uomo che riconosci come vero e che non facile dimenticare. Andrea Camilleri C un nuovo sceriffo in citt. Il commissario Bordelli, con la sua sanguigna umanit tutta italiana e tutta toscana, si inserisce oggi nella grande tradizione dei De Vincenzi e dei Duca Lamberti: poliziotti complessi e tormentati che raccontano unItalia ingenua e cattiva che ancora non sapeva di essere cos noir. Carlo Lucarelli ...Una tormentata figura di investigatore e unItalia meno cinica ma non meno cattiva di oggi. Il Venerd di Repubblica - Corrado Augias Bordelli, il commissario pi amato da Camilleri dopo il suo Montalbano. Il Piccolo Firenze, estate 1963. La citt deserta per le vacanze e assediata dal caldo e dalle zanzare. Il commissario Bordelli passa le sue notti a rigirarsi nelle lenzuola, incapace di prender sonno, dopo giornate di banale routine estiva sbrigata da quei pochi rimasti in Commissariato, come il poliziotto Mugnai e il nuovo arrivato Piras. Durante una di quelle lunghe notti insonni, Bordelli riceve una telefonata che gli annuncia una morte misteriosa: sul luogo del delitto, una villa del Settecento, giace il corpo senza vita di unanziana signora; accanto al suo letto, un bicchiere con tracce di un medicinale per lasma e sul comodino, riposto con cura e perfettamente chiuso, il flacone di quel medicinale. Difficile, per, pensare a un attacco improvviso della malattia, come spiega il fidato anatomopatologo Diotivede, collaboratore e amico di vecchia data del commissario. Bordelli inizia le sue indagini, partendo proprio dai singolari personaggi che frequentavano abitualmente la villa: lanziana governante; i nipoti Giulio e Anselmo; Dante, lo stravagante fratello della vittima. Ma ognuno di questi ha un alibi inattaccabile. O almeno cos sembra, fino a quando il commissario Bordelli non decide di tornare sul luogo del delitto.

This is the first in a detective series set in Florence, bought it in Florence but decided to read it in August. It's a quick read and enjoyable but won't one that keeps in my mind.

This book is mis-marketed as a cosy mystery.

For a start, the mystery is completely drowned by filler. At first, I was unimpressed, but by the end, the cast of bit-characters we meet in lieu of suspects came to life for me. Expect a character study rather than a whodunit.

And secondly, a lot of the subject matter is dark and/or complex (see comments for CW).

I'm undecided how I feel about this book. I suspect it may linger in my mind.

RaeLovesToRead Content warning for child sexual abuse presented in a disturbingly positive way. 3y

My Bookspin / Doublespin picks! @TheAromaofBooks 💕

Following on from #cloakanddaggerchristmas it looks like I'm going to have CLOAK AND DAGGER JANUARY!!! 🗡

(Sadly, I already know exactly who did The Mirror Crack'd.. there is an absolutely STUNNING version of it starring Julia McKenzie in the series Agatha Christie's Marple which I recommend +++)

Happy with these picks!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I love that cover for Death in August!! 3y
RaeLovesToRead @TheAromaofBooks I know 🥰🥰🥰 Hope it's good! 3y
Branwen Those covers are ❤❤❤😍 3y
RaeLovesToRead @Branwen Yes! Especially the Death in August one 💙 3y
RaeLovesToRead @Branwen (although The Mirror Crack'd is delightfully vintage) 3y

For this literary trip to Florence, here‘s a picture from an actual trip there. : ) I liked this book. It‘s a mystery mostly interesting for its setting, 1960s Florence, and Bordelli often engages in the Florentines‘ favorite summer pastime: complaining about the heat and the mosquitoes. The other characters were perhaps more unique than the MC, especially the eccentric inventor working on ways to save rats from poison. I‘m eager to read more!

I‘ve heard mixed reviews about this author, but I‘ve been curious about his books and they were on sale, so I figured I‘d give it a try. Plus a literary trip to 1960s Florence didn‘t sound bad. : )
