The Secrets they Hide (A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome) by P.J. Mann – Review by Sheri Schrader

The Secrets they Hide by P.J. Mann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Secrets They Hide: An Italian Murder Mystery is the second book in A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome and is a great read. This is my first book by this author, but I will return for more. Commissario Scala is stubborn and determined when put on a case. I won’t risk giving anything about the plot away because that is the worst, especially with a mystery. The book is set in the beautiful city of Rome, but there are dark secrets behind a recent murder. Will Detective Maurizio Scala be able to unravel the pieces of the puzzle?
I enjoyed reading about Scala and how he goes about processing the pieces of the puzzle left at the scene. I read a lot of mysteries and sometimes get disappointed by how formulaic the stories get. I was not disappointed by this one and will go back and read other books in this series. I was able to unravel the pieces before the end, but the writing kept me reading until the end. I definitely look forward to reading more from this author soon.
