Un po' stantio: secondo libro su Ricciardi che leggo e ci ritrovo (quasi) tutti i protagonisti precedenti, qualcuno nuovo ed uno morto. Si muove tutto lentamente, secondo me: una Napoli fine anni '30 descritta fra vicoli, sporcizia, feste e unalunghissimo (infinita?) "quasi" storia d'amore. Perchè ò'amore, ahimè non sboccia e il utto si trascina stancamente. Scritto bene, niente da dire: ma senza uno straccio di colpo di scena, e con l'assassino che salta fuori sempre dopo poche pagine. As a young man, Vincenzo Sannino was infatuated with a young woman, Cettina, as she with him. To become worthy of her, he stowed away on a ship which brought him to America. There he became in the course of many years, a championship boxer called "Vinnie the Snake", after his lightning fast punch. Now rich and famous but having killed accidentally another fighter in the ring with that punch, guilt brings him home. Unfortunately, Cettina hasn't waited for him and has married, whereas he has dreamt of returning to her arms. A murder near the docks bring Ricciardi and Maione to investigate. Vinnie is accused of the murder; the policemen feel he is innocent and set out to prove it. The was another case with twists and turns. Music plays a big part; Vinnie serenades Cettina with a song from long ago: the so-called "nameless serenade." The song speaks of autumn, love, and loss. The redoubtable Bambinella played her part, and the story involved the family business of a fabric shop. A very enjoyable outing, but, goodness, I hope Ricciardi and Enrica [who are in love with each other secretly] will get together at some point! At least she has turned down a suitor. This is my favorite mystery series set in Italy--Naples, to be exact. Setting is during the Fascist years under Il Duce. Highly recommended. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"A Commissario Ricciardi Neapolitan mystery that packs a real punch. Years ago, Vinnie Sannino left Naples on a ship bound for America, where he found fame and wealth as a boxer. But his gilded life in the new world came to an abrupt end when, during a fight, with a heavy punch to the head of his opponent, Vinnie killed a man in the ring. Now, Vinnie's back in Italy, pining for the woman he left behind. Cettina, however, is now a married woman. She was, at least, until recently when her husband was found dead, killed by a single blow to the head. For Commissario Ricciardi, one of the most faceted cops in fiction, and his partner Maione, it is a going to be a long, rainy, week in Naples"--Page [4] of cover.
