📚 🅱🅻🅾🅶 🆃🅾🆄🆁 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆 📚 𝗥𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗘𝗠 𝗜𝗡 𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦𝗔 by Tom Benjamin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its my turn to share my thoughts on the amazing Requiem In LaRossa as part of tbr blog tour hosted by Random Things Tours. Thank you for my spot on the tour and for the advance copy of the book in exchange for an honest REVIEW. 𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 I read this book fully aware that it was the third in ‘The English Detective series featuring private detective Daniel Leicester, and while it was a great standalone novel, with the benefit of hindsight, I think I would have preferred to read them in order of publication. That said, it takes nothing away from this superb book from Tom Benjamin. The author’s skill at descriptive text beautifully demonstrated his obvious love for Italy and in particular Bologna. The richness of the scenes made me feel like I was there among the characters, taking in the sights, the sounds, and the smells of Bologna. Daniel is the protagonist. His character is very well written, and three dimensional, which makes him likeable, and totally credible. His love for his daughter was very clear, and he is fiercely protective, with her being his last link to his late wife. I liked both and was rooting for Daniel throughout. Overall, I really enjoyed the read which had made me seriously consider Bologna as a place to visit in the future. This was a compelling book, and I hope the author continues to write for Daniel in this beautiful setting. I have already ordered books one and two. I gave Requiem in LaRossa, by Tom Benjamin, five stars. My blog with additional author and book info is live.

Requiem In La Rossa Tom Benjamin The cover and title of this novel drew me in right away. It has a very classy feel to it, which I adore, and the contents certainly reflect this. A beautiful and mysterious detective story set in Italy—the story transports us with vivid descriptions of the culture, food, and feel of the scenery. I wish I had read the rest of the series before reading this, but I still enjoyed the plot and the characters. Thank you @randomthingstours for having me take part on this tour. #requieminlarossa @tombenjaminsays @littlebrown #randomthingstours [pr product] In the sweltering heat of a Bologna summer, a murderer plans their pièce de résistance... Only in Bologna reads the headline in the Carlino after a professor of music is apparently murdered leaving the opera. But what looks like an open-and-shut case begins to fall apart when English detective Daniel Leicester is tasked with getting the accused man off, and a trail that begins among Bologna's close-knit classical music community leads him to suspect there may be a serial killer at large in the oldest university in the world. And as Bologna trembles with aftershocks following a recent earthquake, the city begins to give up her secrets... 🏷 #thrillerbook #thriller #thrillerbooks #bookstagram #book #books #booklover #libridaleggere #bookworm #thrillerpsicologico #reading #libriconsigliati #librichepassione #romanzogiallo #librigialli #libribelli #thrillerbooksaddict #librithriller #bookstagrammer #thrilleritaliano #romanzocriminale #nuoveletture #lettureestive #romanzoitaliano #librisulcomodino #romanzothriller #letturenotturne #librinovit (at Par, Cornwall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdL2TbRL9nE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
