Story
Sixty-two days after the disappearance... A man is arrested in the small town of Avechot. His shirt is covered in blood. Could this have anything to do with a missing girl called Anna Lou? What really happened to the girl? Detective Vogel will do anything to solve the mystery surrounding Anna Lou's disappearance. When a media storm hits the quiet town, Vogel is sure that the suspect will be flushed out. Yet the clues are confusing, perhaps false, and following them may be a far cry from discovering the truth at the heart of a dark town.

By restoring the original forest that covered the area before medieval times, he believes he will rekindle the spirits of ancient folklore. But the re-planting of the forest will revive an altogether darker and more dangerous entity - and young arboreal expert Tom Curtis will find himself engaging in an epic, ancient battle between good and evil. A battle in which there can be only one survivor.

The goats of Vigàta once grazed on the trash-strewn site still known as the Pasture. Now local enterprise of a different sort flourishes: drug dealers and prostitutes of every flavour. But their discreet trade is upset when two employees of the Splendour Refuse Collection Company discover the body of engineer Silvio Luparello, one of the local movers and shakers, apparently deceased in flagrante at the Pasture. The coroner's verdict is death from natural causes - refreshingly unusual for Sicily.

The girl with the dragon tattoo is not given to forgiveness. Lisbeth Salander has been forged by a brutal childhood and horrific abuse. And repeated attempts on her life. The ink embedded in her skin is a constant reminder of her pledge to fight against the injustice she finds on every side. Confinement to the secure unit of a women's prison is intended as a punishment. Instead, Lisbeth finds herself in relative safety. Flodberga is a failing prison, effectively controlled by the inmates, and for a computer hacker of her exceptional gifts there are no boundaries.

Enjoyable thriller
I enjoyed this immensely. Largely set in Rome, with several interwoven stories, featuring around a dead journalist, his police investigator wife, a serial killer and agents of divine intervention. Lots of twists and turns, superably narrated as ever by Saul Reichlin.

Superb!
Complex narrative, made up of many threads that are carefully linked but difficult to unravel. Not a dull moment in this book. Could not stop listening. Saul Reichlen is of course one of the best narrators and he adds to the pleasure of this listen. Highly recommended. Hope to have more by this author soon!

Complex but kept you intrigued
Would you listen to The Lost Girls of Rome again? Why?
Don't know. I've never listened to any of my audible books again - thus far. Probably not, I couldn't really get on with the Narrator
What did you like best about this story?
The swift movement from character story line to another with each story slowly merging together in to an exciting finale
What three words best describe Saul Reichlin’s performance?
Bland, Inappropriate accents.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, because of monotone narration
Any additional comments?
If you are choosing a Narrator to cover a book based in the eternal city, then a person who can sound remotely Italian would have helped. The Narrator was able to pull off the Austrian/German accent very well for one key character, so it's not as if he was told to keep the same voice throughout. This spoilt otherwise an excellent story. In some ways I wish I'd bought the paperback. Sorry this is the first time I've been critical of an audio purchase.

Donato Carrisi continues to produce intricately woven tales full of mystery, intrigue and suspense and deserves his place in the top tier of my library as does narrator Saul Reichlin. I look forward to the next in the series.
