"When I was in my early twenties, I worked as an usher at London’s National Film Theatre. They showed L’avventura with an earphone commentary instead of subtitles, but because I was working I couldn’t listen to the translation. Of course, it didn’t matter that I couldn’t understand a word of Italian—it blew me away regardless. The power of the compositions, the rhythm of the editing, the tone that is established from the opening frames. I decided for a while that if I was going to make films, they should all feel like Antonioni’s. I soon realized I wasn’t up to that challenge."

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. Set in Sicily, there are a number of key players and just as many suspects. All the way through I was changing my mind as to who the killer could be. It is very well written. This is an Italian book that has been translated into English. It has a notes section in the back as there are some references that English readers may not understand and some humour is lost in translation (the chicken joke, for instance), this I think is invaluable for the reader in parts. If you like a mystery this is for you!
