The Hotel of the Three Roses by Augusto De Angelis
A dark murder mystery with strong elements of Gothic horror, from the father of the Italian 'giallo' crime genre, featuring Inspector De Vincenzi.
A gripping tale of murder and revenge which, like all good detective novels, keeps us rapt for the duration of the case and leaves us wanting more.. Both a fiendish locked-door mystery and a whodunnit with its fair share of red herrings, dark secrets and dastardly motives Herald You won't want to put this clever and smoothly written novel down Crime Review This is a book I would strongly recommend to readers of both translated crime and Golden Age detective fiction Crossexaminingcrime As humane as Maigret, as romantic as Marlowe, as intellectual as Philo Vance, yet stubbornly Italian Oreste Del Buono De Vincenzi, is an investigator who doesn't stop at the material evidence, but digs with uncommon passion in the psyche of his characters, and the atmosphere in which they live and operate... a rare delight Corriere Della Sera A decent plot, satisfactorily resolved Col's Criminal Library
