Perhaps we are talking about Byzantine rites here. This could be described as a roller coaster of a thriller with a few unfortunate stops. This is a story about a serial killer with almost supra-human abilities to avoid detection. An encapsulated version of this thriller is that the killer, a Caravaggio aficionado, is pursued by a young detective who is also (surprise) a Caravaggio expert. If Mr. Hewson had stayed with this theme it would have been rated higher. OK, we know he is really writing about Archbishop Marcinkus and the scandals of the Vatican Bank, but to be realistic, there is just to much baggage in this story. It could certainly have used an editor, a problem that many other reviewers have mentioned about not only this work but others .

Let me bring up the few areas where I feel the writer has fallen down on the job. The love scenes between Nic Costa and the enigmatic Sara Farnese, heroine, tart, psychotic daughter (looneytoon?) are boring, clinical, cliché-ridden seem to be purely pro forma and only break the rhythm of the book.

The dialogue between Vic, his Communist, politico, dying father, Vic, Sara and Bea the pining would be paramour of Vic’s father are puerile and totally unbelievable. They simply do not resonate with any realism. In fact, all these scenes and dialogue could have been condensed in one or two pages and still be effective.

The entire premise of the corrupt archbishop and his motives, his Machiavellian aide de camp, Hanrahan is too fantastic. It gets in the way of the ride. OK, this is a few steps above the usual thriller, but the reader should be warned that he should expect to be disappointed at several key points of the story.

The use of Caravaggio and the theme of Tertullian influence does give the story color, but unfortunately not enough to give this book a hearty endorsement or future ones.

Review #2

A Season for the Dead audiobook in series Nic Costa

Excellent murder mystery. We know who did it fairly early on, but the complexities of how and why maintain interest in the plot. Meanwhile, the characters reflect on the meaning of death–and life–from a variety of theological and philosophical perspectives. Their reflections lead to character evolution over the course of the novel. Their ideas are sophisticated, but the characters express those ideas in direct, understandable language. Each character has a unique voice and point of view, with a mix of human strengths and weaknesses. The action keeps building, too, and the setting in Rome adds to the fascination of this book. The struggle between good and evil in “A Season For The Dead” is not just a struggle between good people and bad people; but rather a struggle between forces that we recognize as a human struggle within ourselves. The world brings good and evil events into our lives, and we respond with our own blend of good and evil traits. David Hewson allows us to identify with heroes and villains alike while they confront extraordinary pressures we rarely experience. He gets the dynamic interaction of good and evil just right.

Audiobook A Season for the Dead by David Hewson

A Season for the Dead is an excellent book, well written and located in Rome (for Rome fans, it is delightful and very accurate). The characters are very interesting and quite well rounded and Nic Costa is the type of complex character that immediately makes us like him. The other characters Falcone (the boss), Rossi (the partner) and Teresa (the coroner) all complement the protagonist. The action is thrilling and I hope to see many more books with the same group.

Audio A Season for the Dead narrated by Sean Baker

A serial killer is wandering the sweltering streets of Rome when Nic Costa and Luca Rosta begin their investigation into a series of murders depicting scenes of martydom from various painting – which all seem connected to Professor Sara Faranese; Nic has to discover this connection while being increasily drawn to Sara.
I found the Italian police both frustrating and intriguing along with the inner workings of the Vatacian and Cardinal Denney’s relationship with Sara (which confuses Nic even more for Sara is a very complex and sexually active women.)
You’ll find yourself asking ‘why’ around every corner as you attempt to figure out this more than interesting, more than run of the mill, more than the same of crime drama – mystery – and it’ll be worth every page you turn!

I enjoyed this book. It wasn’t how I thought it would be which is why I liked it. I’m not going to write a plot summary since so many on Amazon have already did that. I enjoyed that you never knew where the twists and turns were going to be in this book. I loved all the detail about Italy and the paintings. It’s not a Dan Brown want to be book. If you are looking for codes then you will be disappointed. I enjoyed the interplay between all the characters. Wasn’t sure how to take some of them or how they were going to fit into the plot. I enjoyed this first book of the series. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a religious thriller or a mystery.

In this the first of the Nic Costa series we find fascinating quirky characters, byzantine plots and fast moving action. It is a series that reminds me of two of my favorite authors, Dan Brown and Daniel de Silva and his art restorer/Mossad operative. He brings Rome to life and the part the Church and the art and antiquities play in the everyday fabric of life. I am definitely hooked and can’t wait to read the whole series.
