Maxim Jakubowski is the latest to offer a pre-publication review on Crimetime saying… ‘Seldom has Venice been evoked so vividly along with the bitter memories of German oppression and, sadly, of local collaboration with the invaders… this one-off set mostly in German WW2-occupied Venice must surely rank amongst his best.’
He concludes…
With a gallery of wonderful characters on both sides of the fence and never flinching from the atrocities committed by all parties, this is a gripping and wonderfully written tale of pathos and heroism with a wonderful final twist that raises the book to a whole other level.
