The Darkest Sin | D. V. Bishop
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
The Darkest Sin is an atmospheric historical thriller by D. V. Bishop, set in Renaissance Florence and is the sequel to City of Vengeance. Florence. Spring, 1537. When Cesare Aldo investigates a report of intruders at a convent in the Renaissance city’s northern quarter, he enters a community divided by bitter rivalries and harbouring dark secrets. His case becomes far more complicated when a naked man’s body is found deep inside the convent, stabbed more than two dozen times. Unthinkable as it seems, all the evidence suggests one of the nuns must be the killer. Meanwhile, Constable Carlo Strocchi finds human remains pulled from the Arno that belong to an officer of the law missing since winter. The dead man had many enemies, but who would dare kill an official of the city’s most feared criminal court? As Aldo and Strocchi close in on the truth, identifying the killers will prove more treacherous than either of them could ever have imagined . . .

The dead body of a naked man has been found in a convent. Aldo has to find a way to investigate because his niece is a student at the convent. Meanwhile Strocchi finds evidence in his home village which may threaten his mentee-mentor relationship with Aldo.

Another twisty, suspenseful installment. I hope we see more of Isabella and maybe a bit fewer unnecessary Italian words. Does it really add anything to say e.g. officio rather than office?
