The Villa of Mysteries

By David Hewson

Somewhat strange story of a semi-cult in Rome, the Italian mob and a number of police officers with lots of challenges…

Review from amazon.co.uk:
“The Villa of Mysteries”, the second novel in the Italian crime series set in Rome, features Caravaggio-loving Detective Nic Costa. In this title, when a young woman turns up dead in a peat bog, a maverick pathologist thinks she’s the victim of an ancient Roman ritual. But she’s wrong.

My rating: ***
