I couldn't finish it. Too many characters to remember. The narration was at times fluid: Dante Alighieri's adventures occasionally stopped for explanations, descriptions of the places, the landscapes that surrounded him, the customs and traditions. After that the story returned to Dante Alighieri and I was so lost with all those useless explanations, that every time I had to go back several pages to understand where I had left off.

I rarely give 5 stars, but this book truly deserves them all.
The plot revolves around strange cases of apparent suicide at Cambridge University. There, our detective will start investigating.
Flowing text, suspense, plot twists, but also heartbreaking love will give life to a story capable of keeping you glued until the last page.

Full of plot twists. The book is made up of at least 5 completely different situations which, as the story progresses, intertwine creating 2 main events, perfectly connected to each other.
Although I found it boring at times, the text is very smooth and pleasant to read.

It has a lot of potential. There is the escape of the daughter and the mystery of the kidnapping and murder of a little girl. Too bad that the story revolves purely around the working world of the protagonist. I read 136 pages and it was like I stayed on page 1. It's one of the few I couldn't finish it.

If the torment that consumed Ayumi's soul had grown the longer she'd been in there, wouldn't the same have happened to Minako? Outside there are stimuli. There is light, there are seasons, and the activities of the people. There are discoveries that, even for a single moment, make one forget the most excruciating restlessness and pain.

The book presents itself as a thriller, but it is full of scenes and references of a sexual nature that you can define as an erotic book.
I like the writer's style, but for almost the entire story I had the feeling that he wanted to save the protagonist at all costs, making the story unbelievable.
Nice plot twists in the ending.

A murderer always feels an urgent desire to repeat his crime, if successful.

The plot takes place around the mysterious fire of an old manor in Starvel Hollow. Here, Inspector French of Scotland Yard is called to investigate. Too many pages concerning the detective's thoughts, leaving all the other characters on the sidelines. Personally, in a mystery novel, I love to compete with the detective to find the killer before him, but this book didn't leave much chance for the imagination.

The protagonist is a woman with a strong personality, a real warrior. The story is heartbreaking, the text is well described.
This book is one of the few that made me cry.
The English version is "Flowers over the Inferno."

«Someone sooner or later will have to explain to me what a monster is» she said. «We call them that, but in the meantime we stand by and watch, we can't change the channel because we know they are like us: humans. This is what captures us, recognizing a part of them in us.»

Solitude was a discreet roommate, who never invaded the spaces and left everything as it was It had no smell, no color. It was an absence, an entity that defined itself by the opposition, like the void, but it existed: it was she who made the cup of infusion tremble in Teresa's hands, some nights when sleep didn't want to know how to bring relief. That tinkling spread throughout the rooms without meeting any other warm body.

People die every day, Teresa reminded herself. It was life in another form. Witnessing it, though, was uncomfortable. It meant enjoying one's breaths when someone else mourned those who had stopped breathing. Inevitable and cruel: human.

Non riusciva ancora ad afferrarlo, era solo un riflesso evanescente sotto la superficie, che appariva a tratti e di colpo si spegneva non appena cercava di dargli un nome.
