vamysteryfanKiller Year edited by Lee Child. Short stories in the hardboiled private eye genre. Some of them were quite intriguing.
Through a Glass Darkly by Donna Leon. The underlying story was about pollution in the Venice area. Clever resolution to the crimes too.
Trigger City by Sean Chercover was recommended bygillyp. Very well written. An intriguing private eye story that takes a left turn into dark conspiracies.
A Valley in Italy by Lisa St. Aubin de Teran was recommended bysnailbones. It's set in Umbria, part of the old papal states. It's a completely different take on the remodeling stories. The scenes of village life seemed very authentic. The author had a different approach to remodeling too - she stayed through the whole thing so readers got more details about the actual hardships. I enjoyed it.
