Actual Raing: 2.5

I have mix feelings about this novel. I enjoyed it, found it interesting and some parts were exciting that I couldn't put the book down. However, the plot line was too confusing for me. I felt like there were too many stories to keep up with. What started as a murder case about a priest turned into military cover up/violence against women/organized crime/internet fiasco. I'm sure it was all mixed in to throw you off but I'm really not sure I really understood it. The ending hints that the story continues but this is as far as I will go. As much as I loved reading about aspects of Italy and Carnivia, I'm not really interested in following Kate Tapo. She's so arrogant, rude, and selfish. I usually cheer for women detective because they do not take any crap from men but once she got caught up in her love affair, which I saw coming, I felt no sympathy or remorse for her.
