My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had the pleasure of reading “The Boss of Centocelle: An Italian Murder Mystery” by P.J. Mann, and I must say that it’s a thrilling and engaging ride from start to finish.
Detective Maurizio Scala is a stubborn and intuitive investigator who finds himself in the midst of a complex murder case. As he navigates the twists and turns, he must also balance his personal life, which is put to the test by the demands of his job.
One of the strengths of this book is its well-developed characters. Scala is a gritty and relatable hero who is easy to root for. His personal struggles and moments of tension and heartache make him a more nuanced and human character. The supporting cast is also well-written, with distinct personalities and motivations that add depth to the story.
The plot is expertly crafted, with plenty of surprises and red herrings to keep you guessing. The author’s use of language is descriptive and evocative, painting a vivid picture of the settings and characters.
