Description
Even on an Italian holiday, anthropologist Gideon Oliver and his wife can't seem to find any R. & R. They are guests of Mrs. Oliver's colleague on an idyllic island. But the breathtaking view and sumptuous food come at a price. The padrone's only child, Archille, has been kidnapped, bones have been found and Gideon must mix business with pleasure.

This story is always good. I can never remember exactly what the solution is, although that it relates to the baby switch (which is the first chapter) is obvious. Interesting people.

This is a really fun book. It takes place in Italy and Gidion Oliver's wife is in this one. You get to learn things about bones and also some about how the police in Italy work. A great read!! I highly recomend this book!

Gideon Oliver and his wife Julie are congenial as always. The mystery is built into a vacation jaunt to Lake Maggiore. The plot is rather forced and predictable.

It took me a while to get into this one. I'm not usually a fan of multiple points of view in third person narration in books.
It added a little, not a lot, to this book. I sought it out because of the setting, and really did enjoy that setting. The characters of Phil and Carravale were fun. Could

have done without most of the forensic bone details (which, I would guess for most people, is a big part of the appeal of this series!). Show Less
