Sarah and Michael Masson are a thoroughly modern English couple on a two-part holiday in Italy in 1976; they start in Rimini and end in Venice, arguing and one-upping each other all the way. They get to know some other holiday-goers rather better than they would like, but they would hardly have thought those relationships could end up in murder…."Another Death in Venice" is a stand-alone novel by Reginald Hill, but includes much of his trademark humour and spot-on characterizations such as we find in the Dalziel and Pascoe series. Unfortunately, I pretty much hated every single one of his characters here, and also found the constant sniping about “feminism” (and at “feminists”) to be very tiring; it might have been modern in 1976, but the world, thankfully, has very much moved on. A disappointment, really. ( ) The jacket made it look like a lighthearted mystery set on an italian holiday. It's not. What the book mostly is about is a boring case study of 6 people on vacation who I really cared nothing about. A murder does occur over halfway through the book but who killed the person is never really clear. Boring and not worth wasting time on. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

-- Orlando Sentinel Sarah and Michael Masson are on holiday in Italy, and their tour is making its way to Veniceâ??Italyâ??s most romantic city. But so far the trip hasnâ??t been especially romantic. Michael has little patience for Sarahâ??s sentimental nature or her stubborn insistence on socializing with their fellow travelers. Sarah is tiring of Michaelâ??s cynicism. But among their little group of tourists, there is even darker strife: One woman confides to Michael that her husband is violent, while that same husband propositions Sarah shamelessly. And eventually they are joined by two mysterious driftersâ??one of whom claims to be a mercenary. The journey was meant to be a sunny escape, but storm clouds are clearly brewing. And as Sarah questions her marriage, the police are questioning Michael about a murder . . . From the Diamond Daggerâ??winning author of the Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries, this is a novel of secrets, betrayals, and twisting, turning suspense. â??Reginald Hill is quite simply one of the best at work today.â?ť â?? -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
