"Ilaria Tuti's thriller debut explores a remote community in northern Italy--a place of secrets, eerie folktales, and primal instincts. In a quiet village surrounded by ancient woods and the imposing Italian Alps, a man is found naked with his eyes gouged out. It is the first in a string of gruesome murders. Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, a detective with a background in criminal profiling, is called to investigate. Battaglia is in her mid-sixties, her rank and expertise hard-won from decades of battling for respect in the male-dominated Italian police force. While she's not sure she trusts the young city inspector assigned to assist her, she sees right away that this is no ordinary case: buried deep in these mountains are whispers of a dark and dangerous history, possibly tied to a group of eight-year-old children toward whom the killer seems to gravitate. As Teresa inches closer to the truth, she must also confront the possibility that her body and mind, worn down by age and illness, may fail her before the chase is over"--… (mehr)

This book really excelled in atmosphere. The chilling experiment at the heart of the book, the torch carrying villagers in the mountains and the gothic , gruesome incidents the inspector was investigating were all intriguing. I understand the author wanted Battaglia to be irascible, but she’s a bit much for me. The impossibility of the “antagonist “ kept me from completely enjoying it, and I’m generally not a fan of profiler novels, but will give a try to another ( )

Niente di speciale: scrittrice sopravvalutata e romanzo più che altro spinto dall'omonima serie tv.
Scrittura ampollosa, specie nella prima parte del libro (...poi l'autrice ha capito che bisognava spingere sull'azione e i colpi di scena!).
Al di la di un'ambientazione che personalmente mi ha dato un senso di clustrofobia la protagonista è veramente antipatica e non mi commuovono i suoi problemi di salute.
Nel complesso un romanzo "Carrisi-style" con trama improbabile.
Cara Tuti bye bye, me ne torno ai veri giallisti stranieri....qui in Italia non c'è nulla da leggere! ( )

Effettive tre stelle e mezzo.
Un giallo che non mi ha convinto del tutto e che ritengo piuttosto sopravvalutato rispetto ai tanti elogi ricevuti.
Una partenza lenta e anche un po’ confusa, soprattutto perché fino a metà libro non si riescono quasi ad inquadrare i protagonisti a cominciare proprio dal commissario Teresa Battaglia, personaggio di per sé abbastanza contraddittorio e anche poco simpatico, la cui storia personale, alla fine, è forse l’unica vera nota “misteriosa” di tutto il libro, rivelandosi al lettore molto più lentamente rispetto al giallo stesso.
Tantissimi personaggi, forse troppi in primo piano, tanto da generare a volte confusione, ma soprattutto solo parzialmente caratterizzati o per lo più stereotipati.
Un dramma frutto e figlio dell’orrore e dell’errore, narrato tra passato e presente e che, proprio per quest’ultimo motivo, manca di quel mordente e quella suspence propri del genere perché le incursioni nel passato rendono più che prevedibile sin dall’inizio quello che sarà l’epilogo della vicenda.

I started to read this book last night and finished this morning. Such a fabulous and engrossing tale. I especially like Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, a woman in her mid-sixties. It's such a rarity to read a crime novel with an older female cop. And, I really really like that. She's such an interesting character. Another thing I really liked was her new inspector Massimo. They get off on the wrong foot, but as the story progresses do they start to have a better working relationship.

As for the case, so tragic so incredibly tragic. It's not often I feel sorry for killers. But, reading this story and especially the last part. Well, what can I say, the worst monsters are those in plain sight...

FLOWERS OVER THE INFERNO is a great crime novel. I've lately been looking for more European crime/thrillers to read. Especially set in Germany, France, Italy, etc. And, now I can add Ilaria Tuti to the list of authors I want to read more by.

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review! ( )

Story was okay, premise was fairly interesting. I was really mixed on the main characters. I would read more by this author, but I certainly wouldn't rush out to buy or look for other volumes of her books. ( )

Austria, 1978
C'era una leggenda che gravava su quel posto. Una di quelle che si appiccicano ai luoghi come un odore persistente. Si diceva che in autunno inoltrato, prima che le piogge si tramutassero in neve, il lago alpino esalasse respiri sinistri.
