The Dead Season

This year, the heat wave in Florence is fiercer than usual. The city's inhabitants have fled to the cool of the hills of the surrounding countryside. So it is no surprise that a corpse lies unnoticed, bloating in the humid air. Sandro Cellini, former policeman turned private detective, has a case: a man who seems to have vanished into thin air - leaving his pregnant young fiancée alone in the city.

Meanwhile, bank teller Roxana Delfino is also stuck in the city for the season, with nothing to do but worry for her aging mother and puzzle over the disappearance of one her regular clients.

Love this series

The main character Sandro is a very caring private investigator … always trying to help others and very caring if his wife. A nice guy … as are all the main characters.

But the stories still have a lot of unexpected twists and turns. Set in Florence, which makes an interesting background.
