Vichi’s storytelling shines through his illustrious characters, each one brought to life with such depth and intricacy that I find myself eagerly following alongside them as they evolve with every case.

Set against an evocative backdrop of Sardinia in the 1960s, this novel immerses you in a world where the beauty of the landscape contrasts sharply with the darkness of human nature. Inspector Bordelli, with his blend of melancholy, wisdom, and a sense of justice, feels like an old friend. Vichi’s rich descriptions and attention to historical detail make the setting come alive, adding another layer to the immersive experience.

What I love most is how Vichi balances the complexities of the mystery with the personal growth of his characters. Watching Bordelli and his colleagues navigate their personal and professional challenges adds a compelling depth to the narrative. Death in Sardinia is not just a whodunit; it’s a thoughtful exploration of human nature, morality, and the relentless passage of time.
