I have little to add to the negative comments of --other reviewers. The plot is tedious and unconvincing, szene changes to Italy no help at all, sprinkling the dialogue with Italian sentences simply irritating (and pretentious); Havers is a grotesque caricature, Lynley Reduced to just another guy Who wants to get laid. I found myself flipping pages more and more often. One reviewer found the book a sleep aid; I Was so annoyed and frustrated Kept me awake That It.
