City of Vengeance: Shortlisted for the 2021 Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize | 
pickIn Florence in the year 1536, a Jewish moneylender is found dead, stabbed in his own house, and a rentboy who was keeping a very indiscreet diary is beaten to death outside a church. Two cases for Cesare Aldo, an officer of the Otto di Guardia e Balia court, and constable Carlo Strocchi. ⬇
rwmg A procedural which leans more to the action and adventure side rather than the little grey cells, but very intriguing nonetheless. It had an interesting historical background and I gave into temptation and looked up one of the real characters, which provided some spoilers. A little bit of a cliffhanger at the end in that I\'m not sure whether a threat has been neutralised, so straight on to the next in the series. 2mo
