So far, very boring, hard to pin point the main plot-multitude of characters, and no goals identifiable.

Great clean book of mild mystery, by "Jessica Fletcher" & Co. Reads easily and entertaining and engaging. Minus- many grammatical errors (all in punctuation-commas absence).

A strange, but pretty colorful display of celebrating New Year and Christmas traditions by Italians... While nobody truly can know, whether it was originated in Italy or not ( not, to my view) as Italians are Catholics and not truly Christians...) and Santa Claus is not a witchy-witch of theirs, but of German's or Russian roots, of course. But since I've personally can vouch for their (Italian) Celebration of Christmas when we've traveled through Netuno, a small town, in 1989 December, it was the grandiose and celebratory period there: all stores' huge glass (from floors to ceilings) windows were golden with some red and white ! And every child, including ours were given juicy fresh tangerines as a free gift, on literally every corner of their streets. I do recommend this short book-album for its illustrations, but look for the much better reprisentation of Winter Holidays in Germany, Russia (the old one) or Holland, please.

Well written. The minus is the rendition goes back and forth all the time throughout the mystery.which distracts from the theme. Also, it appeared not to point out the actual connection between the murderer and it's subject (s) At its end, I could not comprehend who the actual murderer is and what the whole vendetta was all about. I do not suggest this mystery book to anyone.

Sounds like a good plot, happening after Covid-16 era, where businesses loose their profits and business itself... But the novel itself is not worthy the readers: it's highly repetitive and in most parts has ugly characters with horrible acts of disloyalty and emptiness.... Seriously foul language in abundance. I cannot recommend this book to anyone, unfortunately !
