My comments on this book are similar to those for “Fallen Angel.” Inspector Falcone is grating, characters are flat, just names (Tonti, Peroni, Bodoni, Bonetti ) without much personality. I had to check back several times to figure out who was who.

Costa, the great police Superintendent, crouches by the woman who is writhing on the floor with a seizure, takes her by the chin and says, “stay with me, stay with me.” Never occurs to him to call 911 and has forgotten CPR? He breaks the arm of a defenseless paparazzo but otherwise doesn’t do much of anything.

A company is called Lukatmi (Look At Me); identical twins call themselves “Hankenfrank” who can immediately (upon first meeting) direct the pathologist to the name she was searching for. The author likes to show off history and geography by describing walks or rides with all the names of streets, parks, churches and buildings they pass. I usually like this sort of detail but in this case found it pretty boring.

I stopped reading by around page 280. Perhaps it picks up after that, but I didn’t feel it worthwhile to find out.

I have three of this author’s books and “Death in Seville” is the third. I’m hesitant starting that one but eventually will give it a try. Hope it will be better.

Dante’s Numbers audiobook in series Nic Costa

David Hewson has been a favorite of mine for a number of years. His is to Rome what Donna Leon is to Venice, only more gritty and violent. As with most of his previous work, this one is historically based. This Nic Costa series has been masterful! I have learned so much about ancient Rome as well as the various artists and sculptors who have made Rome what it is – a living gallery and museum.
This book meshes contemporary Rome, Dante’s Inferno, modern San Francisco, and corporate Hollywood into a “can’t put down” roller coaster of connections and action. Hewson’s characters are complex, likable, and very real. He is particularly good at giving the female characters real depth and not use them as decorations.

This story is more of a travel log than a mystery thriller. Not that the descriptions of Rome and San francisco aren’t interesting, but they seem more like filler than important to the story line. The conflict between the police and the Carabinieri is more a distraction than a help to the plot. I know little of that relationship: it seemed like slap-stick. Nic Costa seems like he is along for the ride and really doesn’t do much detective work. Terasa Lupo was the most interesting character and seemed to do the leg work. Will try one more of Hewson’s work before moving on.

Audiobook Dante’s Numbers by David Hewson

This is the second David Hewson novel I’ve read. I liked it so much I bought a third one. His protagonist, Nic Costa and the surrounding characters are well developed and believable. The plot is also well developed and while maybe a bit stretched, certainly believable and entertaining. You’ll learn a lot about Dante’s Inferno and Alfred Hitchcok’s Vertigo in the book. I’d highly recommend this to a friend.

Definitely the best of the Nic Costa series. Watching Vertigo before you read the book would make this a truly memorable read. There are a lot of references to Vertigo, Hitchcock and movie-making and most of the book takes place in San Francisco. Still the best mystery I’ve read in a while and a turning point in the evolution of the Costa character. Very hard to put down. Terrific.

Audio Dante’s Numbers narrated by Sean Baker

All the elements that have made Hewson’s previous Nick Costa novels so compelling are completely absent in this one. Thin character development, a ludicrous plot line, an apparently sloppily researched and unrealistic depiction of the film industry and filmmaking process (my former line of work for 20+ years), and a sense that Hewson cranked this out for the cash and an excuse to take a research trip to San Francisco make The Dante Killings less “A Thriller” and more like a bad blockbuster action picture – more hype than substance, an unforgivable waste of talent, and not worth sitting through.

This was the only one in the series I didn’t care for since the author had taken his characters to San Franscisco – and it didn’t work because the background lacked the magic of Rome. It was like taking Inspector Montalbano out of Sicily and dropping him down in South London to solve a drug-related crime. Having said that, again there’s nothing to fault in Hewson’s plotting, story line and ability to write a good thriller.

I can’t recommend David Hewson highly enough,,,I am gradually collecting ALL of His books, and they are so riveting to read. You can be very disappointed when you come to the end!
You find the main character “nick Costa” very believable and his interest in art, and a certain Italian artist reflects the authors own tastes, so that you feel you get to know the creator of the character as well.
All the stories give you a lovely flavour of Italy,and if like me, you have never been there. You will find your planning to save up for a visit , and half expecting to be able to meet Nick Costa when get there.!
A complex character but one you will want to read more and more of , also getting to know his close group of working colleagues, who are also his friends….they all combine to make whichever book you choose, a really good read, ;0)

I love the David Hewson thrillers. You can almost imagine being in Rome with Nic Costa although he doesn’t go over the top and make it boring like some authors! The transition from Rome to San Francisco was excellently done with an intriguing thriller that kept you guessing ’til the end. His bewilderment of the big city in USA was obvious and yet didn’t stop the flow.The end was a little upbrupt though and we shall have to see if Nic goes with his heart or have I missed the follow on?
