Book Description

An Aurelio Zen Novel

Michael Dibdin's overburdened Italian police inspector has been transferred to Naples, where the rule of law is so lax that a police station may double as a brothel. But this time, having alienated superiors with his impolitic zealousness in every previous posting, Zen is determined not to make waves.

Too bad an American sailor (who may be neither American nor a sailor) knifes one of his opposite numbers in Naples's harbor, and some local garbage collectors have taken to moonlighting in homicide. And when Zen becomes embroiled in a romantic intrigue involving love-sick gangsters and prostitutes who pass themselves off as Albanian refugees, all Naples comes to resemble the set of the Mozart opera of the same title. Bawdy, suspenseful, and splendidly farcical, the result is an irresistible offering from a maestro of mystery.

Ingram

Overburdened Italian police inspector Aurelio Zen is transferred to Naples and is soon embroiled in a romantic intrigue involving love-sick gangsters and prostitutes, in this bawdy, suspenseful, and splendidly farcical offering by a maestro of mystery.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Love the Zen, not the farce., Aoû 2 2001
Par Un client
Dibdin excels (usually) when Zen is the focus of his intricate and interesting plots. Unfortunately, he only carried me so far this time. Yes, it is a farce with great promise -- and Dibdin plays very well with the original Cosi fan tutte -- but in my humble opinion, he copped out in the last two chapters. The surreal resolution of the intricate set-up just didn't work for me, in part because his stylistic choice of the self-consciously ironic narrator did not produce a compelling description of the action and resolution of the plot. It was like seeing a play that should have been funny, but was poorly directed.

With all of that being said, I of course went out and got the rest of the Zen books -- even when Dibdin fails, the results are better than most other stories out there!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Aurelio Zen is on a par with the best mystery characters, Juil 16 2001
Par Georgiana Goodwin (Lyme, CT United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Michael Dibdin's character Aurelio Zen is complex, richly drawn and utterly sympathetic. In each Zen mystery the reader gets both a tour of a specific part of Italy, and a dose of office politics not to be believed. And this is in addition to a wonderful crime story. There is never a clear line between good and evil, and the outcomes are never simple. Readers who like Raymond Chandler, Jim Thompson, Robert Van Gulick and Elmore Leonard should love Michael Dibdin.

4.0étoiles sur 5 An Italian Sit-com, complete with murder but no laugh track, Mars 5 2001
Par Dom Miliano (Denville, NJ USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Dibdin takes a holiday of sorts and writes a comic opera set in Naples (today we could call this a sit-com). You have to really pay attention with Dibdin, but never more so than with this installment in the A. Zen sagas. We find our hero indolent in this southern port town stalked by love, murder, video games and incest. Dibdin takes us on a merry chase and somehow manages to bring it all together in the final (long) chapter. New comers to the Zen mysteries should not start with this book (try the Dead Lagoon) but long time fans will be caught up by the third page. You should read the chapter title translations to get the jokes as they are played out. All in all, a real hoot that captures the atmosphere of Naples today.

2.0étoiles sur 5 I can't believe this got good reviews.
Maybe it's just Dibdin I hate. His style is arch and becomes boring after a few chapters, there is no attempt at realism, and his detective is unintelligent and unlikable. Read more
