Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Nope, it was a bit tedious and the ending was stupid. Also the romantic interest is extremely annoying.

What could David Hewson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Avoid creating plot elements based on key characters doing stupid, exasperating things. One or two of the characters were likeable and believable - Peroni, Teresa, Nic himself - but the Chief Inspector and Agatha were completely 2-dimensional and kept repeating the same annoying traits over and over again.

Also would have been nice to avoid the wearisome repetition about past history. He just didn't handle that material well.

What about Saul Reichlin’s performance did you like?

He was the best thing about it. I got to like his voice from the "Girl who" books, and I think that's what kept me listening to the end.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

No.

Clumsiest attempt at a plot twist ever

Taking place in Florence, Italy, there was plenty of descriptive prose about the city, the heat, the inhabitants and the secrets and lies that are part of a good mystery story. The premise is the death of a writer who fell from scaffolding on an old building. Was it suicide or murder? And if so, who did it?

By the end everyone is a suspect and gradually the story unfolds from the young daughter who was there at the time of the death. It was quite convoluted and unnecessarily long, but was nevertheless interesting and well read.

The fallen Angel by David Hewson was a good listen

David Hewson's love of Rome comes across in these books in the Rome series and I felt that this was particularly so in The Fallen Angel. The Roman backdrop was brought to life very effectively, the plot was intricate and well structured and the characters came to life readily in the narration. Another very enjoyable audiobook.

Another great book in the Rome series

Too much explanation and repetition, not enough action. Costa weak and lacking any stimulus, other characters irritating. Not one of Hewson’s best.

Promising but didn’t deliver
