Crime and Horror | A Shimmering Light | Tomaso Nigris | Amazon | A Shimmering Light is an Italian mystery novel. The story follows a path that is a little unusual in that the same episode is told by several main characters from different perspectives, illustrating how reality and truth may take on tonalities and colors, according to the different points of view. Someone dies; an American Commissioner is on vacation in a sunlit village in Puglia. |
Crime and Horror | Freshwater Venice | Cristina Lattaro | Itunes | White pebbles custodians of drowned souls through time. A medium missing for years and a band of criminals sucked into a visionary vortex that drags all towards the obscure depths illuminated by the reflections of a still living past. A story as liquied as the river around which it winds, where quiet is only an illusion; an illusion that spares no one, not even the reader, in the succession of twists and revelations. |
Crime and Horror | The Other Light In The Dark | Cristina Lattaro | Amazon | Lorna Assi disappeared as she left the Nappa farm near Rieti where she worked as a home help. Her brother Fabrizio returned from Russia to investigate. His past, the jobs he’d carried out for years for a mafia boss from the former Soviet Union and Lorna’s reality fit together in an intricate puzzle that Rinaldi, a commissioner in the Highway Patrol, is also seeking to resolve. A thriller where exploration of the mental labyrinth intersects with the action until the epilogue illuminated by the other light in the dark. |

Crime and Horror | A Day Like Yesterday | Emiliano D'Alessandro | Amazon | A found manuscript opens the door to the inaccessible theme of the pursuance of truth at all costs. In another era, gossip, envy and scandals trace the telling of this allegorical and intangible novel, like the protagonists with their distorted masks. A stout provincial physician, a blacksmith, a priest, a pharmacist, a young married couple, a young girl ... and a deceptive parade of evidence and denials, brings us at a completely unexpected conclusion. |

A Day Like Yesterday | Emiliano D’Alessandro | https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WRQMV5T | A found manuscript opens the door to the inaccessible theme of the pursuance of truth at all costs. In another era, gossip, envy and scandals trace the telling of this allegorical and intangible novel, like the protagonists with their distorted masks. A stout provincial physician, a blacksmith, a priest, a pharmacist, a young married couple, a young girl … and a deceptive parade of evidence and denials, brings us at a completely unexpected conclusion. A narrative in a seemingly distant context, however, mostly, it is a sad metaphor for the rumors that are at first ridiculed, then ravished and finally challenged. A melancholy tale concerning the inconsolable awareness of those who subsist only on their interpretations of the truth. | I would read this book again. A puzzle, amusingly written. |

Moral degradation will continuously appeal to his soul as he continues to argue the choices been imposed on him by his will to survive and his conscience that attempts to prevent him from becoming the worst of monsters. | This is an interesting book for those who like a little horror.
