Summary

Neopolitan businessmen, politicians, and eminent mafiosi are assassinated as someone takes literally the job of cleaning up the city's tarnished image. In this mystery, Aurelio Zen discovers that in '90s 'New Italy', things are still the same.

Dibdin and Zen - unpredictable and compelling.


It takes concentration to follow and understand the machinations of the minds of his characters, not least of all, Zen himself, but once grasped, following them is a breathless journey - they never disappoint!!

Best one yet

This is my favourite Zen book so far, funny and clever and very well written. I think it was helped by excellent reading from Michael Kitchen. I know some people don’t like his style, but I think he gets it spot on, especially in this book. He seems to have changed his reading style a bit for this book, but I think his tone, pacing and style was perfect.

Murder buffa

Laugh out loud funny, a diversion from the normal sardonic humour of Zen- but brilliantly written and brilliantly read. Bravo!

One of my favourite Audiobooks

I love the storyline which is an ideal vehicle for Zen and his adventures.
It’s very very funny.
Michael Kitchen’s narration is the best I’ve ever heard. He is perfect for Zen and the crazy crisscrosses of Italy.
A loveable exposition of Italian life and the characters who inhabit it.

Good story, awful narrator!!

Would you try another book written by Michael Dibdin or narrated by Michael Kitchen?

By Michael Dibdin, yes.
By Michael Kitchen, no. Unfortunately, there is not always an option and if you follow a series.....

Could you see Cosi Fan Tutti being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

Yes. Same as in the ones already made.

Cosi Fan Tuti

After the too short 3 episode Zenn series on BBC, I thought I'd try an audio version of the one of the books, I was not disappointed. I found it's witty, tongue in cheek humour, and light touch most entertaining. Couldn't stop listening, until I'd finished it, and have immediately bought another Zenn audio book. The narrator Michael Kitchen is perfect for the style of prose, and 'acts' the narrative superbly, adding to my total enjoyment. Highly recommended.

Good book, not a traditional murder mystery

Good book, not a traditional murder mystery but worth listening to, a lot of character development happens in this book so worth listening to if you are interested in the whole series of books

The Art of Zen...

An intriguing plot, presented with a deftness of touch rarely encountered in such novels.
This author understands the dark heart of Italy.

Excellent.

Another great instalment of Aurillio's Zen's chaotic police and private life. Excellently brought to life by Michael Kitchen's narration.

Made me smile!

This book is worth listening to for the excellent way Michael Kitchen reads it. He puts so much humour into it with his expression and Italian accent. The story has many twists and turns and great characters. It was hard to switch off.
