Nabb has Simenon's knack."-The New York Times Book Review "Nabb's uncanny portrayal of Florence, its pace, scents, sounds, the rhythm of its language . . . is so vivid."-The Boston Globe "If you didn't make it to Florence this summer, don't despair. It was probably too crowded anyway-and there's a new Marshal Guarnaccia investigation to keep you abreast of the sights, smells, tastes, and traffic problems of that great Italian city."-Chicago Tribune "There is no other series quite like the Guarnaccia stories . . . in their moody charms. . . . His tender heart casts a wide net; people trust him, talk to him, seem to feel he is more prescient than he knows he is. The result is a narrative in which the marshal serves as a mirror to the world around him."-The Washington Post Book World "Strongly recommended for readers who like sophisticated, literate mysteries in foreign settings."-Library Journal The body of a woman has been found half-submerged in an ornamental fish pond high up in Florence's Boboli gardens.
