Aurelio Zen: Vendetta Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Another great read, though I "figured it out" with about 75 pages to go and it was difficult to sustain my interest in his red-herring theory. I love the addition of Tania, and appreciated Zen's sly calmness under pressure even more than in Ratking. "

" I love discovering a well written series "

" I picked this up after watching the BBC television series, which I really enjoyed, but it's taken me some time to get around to actually reading it. Zen is a fascinating character - complex and being worn down by the world around him. "

" Good detective stor with a great character as focus. This was also a nice bit of cultural viewpoint of southern Italy. "

" Usual sort of thing but with a crumpled backdrop of Rome and a little more humour / absurdity than the usual detective story. "

" An excellent book. This is the first Inspector Zen story I have read. Gripping and set in Italy. I like the characterisation of Zen, his thoughts. "

" Enjoyable 2nd Zen novel, I enjoyed better than the the first book. Promising series with excellent character development. "

" I love these Michael Dibdin books - the writing can be a little stiff, but every book in his series is like a cultural guide to a separate part of Italy. Esp love all the crazy, byzantine Italian conspiracy angles, like the tie-in w/ la Brigada Rossa. "

" LOVED IT! It just took me a little to get into it, but a great mystery read! "

" audio book...complex plot with many flat characters, but the protagonist, Aurelio Zen, is complex and balanced. "

" Not much to say about this second book in the series, but I have hope - definitely more engrossing than his first Aurelio Zen book. "

" Moral complexity, shades of grey, within another very entertaining book. The depth of Dibdin's stories is astonishing, other mystery writers are not in this league. "

" Even better than the first book "

" A readable mystery taking place in Italy. It started out with an engrossing premise. However, it became more and more clear that the protagonist had no personality. It might only deserve 2 stars but I'll be generous. "

" always good, with a gfw unexpected twists and real tension "

" I liked the Masterpiece Mystery adaptations, so I thought I'd read a couple of the books. They're clever, although I need to read one where I don't already know the ending. "

" Good stuff. The protagonist is a deeply frustrated man trying, trying to remain patient in a nearly impossible situation. Morality is a shifting mass of grays. "
