A Mysterious Review of A Few Drops of Blood by Jan Merete Weiss. A Natalia Monte Mystery.
Review summary: This is a carefully crafted if also quite complicated mystery, one that can be very hard to follow along at times. Set in contemporary Naples, the cast of characters is large and diverse, and there is a sense that even when all is said and done, and the case is officially closed, neither is really true. And maybe that's the way it should be. (Click here for text of full review.)

A Natalia Monte Mystery
Soho Crime (April 2014)
Publisher synopsis: When the bodies of two men are found, shockingly posed, in the garden of an elderly countess, Captain Natalia Monte of the Carabiniere is assigned the case. Soon she finds herself shuttling between Naples’ decadent art galleries and violent criminal underworld.
If she is to succeed in solving the heinous crime, Natalia must deal with not only her own complicated past and allegiances, but also those of the city as a whole.
