Florence, 1473. An impossible murder. A bitter rivalry. A serpent in the ranks.
Florentine investigator Guid'Antonio Vespucci returns to Florence from a government mission to find his dreams of success shattered. Life is good-but then a wealthy merchant dies from mushroom poisoning at Guid'Antonio's Saint John's Day table, and Guid'Antonio's servant is charged with murder. Convinced of the youth's innocence and fearful the killer may strike again, Guid'Antonio launches a private investigation into the merchant's death, unaware that at the same time powerful enemies are conspiring to overthrow the Florentine Republic-and him.
A clever, richly evocative tale for lovers of medieval and Renaissance mysteries everywhere, The Hearts of All on Fire is a timeless story of family relationships coupled with themes of love, loss, betrayal and, above all, hope in a challenging world. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Since Guid’Antonio is convinced his servant is innocent he embarks on a journey to determine who IS guilty and exactly why his guest was targeted at his table. What follows is eminently readable and entertaining novel that takes the reader through the streets of Renaissance Florence.
It was a book that kept my attention and interest as I am a great lover of all things Renaissance Italy – especially her art and artists so having a book in that time period has automatic appeal for me. It did not disappoint in descriptive power and I loved traveling back in time. ( )
