The Crooked House door Christobel Kent
Let down by confusing jumps between timelines and an unbelievable ending....
"The Loving Husband" by Christobel Kent had a great plot and at times, the novel was a real "page turner". However, the story bounced around too much. Hard to follow at times. Hence, the 3 star rating. Another issue for me, was some of the graphic scenes. Which I found a bit too much.
Wow was this Booooooooooring! Cellini was slow, his wife emotionally distraught, the other characters (on an artistic retreat in an old castle) really erudite, and the innocent working in the kitchen. Unlike other detectives in Italy & France, you never get the sense that Cellini has much of a personality, he seems to be stuck & just drifting along.
Long narratives, very little action and almost as little dialog.
Will skip the series.

I found this to be not only confusing but rather boring as well; too many things going on at once. The firing & subsequent murder of the Palazzo's security man; the disappearance of a dog & a journalist/boyfriend; the internal investigation of Sandro's partner, Guilietta on drug use allegations at the women's' clinic where she also works; the smearing of the missing dog's poop on the outside of the owner' room; & the death of the most fascinating resident of the newly opened Palazzo Residences.
It was difficult to get a bead on the personalities of the main characters; Sandro Cellini, his wife Luisa, & partner Guilietta, they seemed very bland. While on the other hand the people staying in the Palazzo were outright Fugly people.
There was too much going on and not enough tie-in's. I couldn't even keep the characters straight as to who was who...… (meer)
