A Divine Fury

Reviews

Atmospheric . . . this fourth volume in the Cesare Aldo series is full of dash and atmosphere. Aldo, as irreverent and maverick as always, is a colourful guide to the seamier side of Florence. An intriguing slice of historical crime by CWA Dagger winner Fast becoming a serious rival to C. J. Sansom and S. J. Parris A deft and engrossing historical thriller set in Renaissance Florence drawing on the fascinating and troubling legacy of Girolamo Savonarola. I thoroughly enjoyed the latest - and I think best - in D. V. Bishop's brilliant series D. V. Bishop once again immerses us in sixteenth-century Florence and the heady intrigues of Renaissance Italy. Aldo is a magnificent creation In Cesare Aldo Bishop gives us a Florentine Shardlake and this is his best escapade yet It’s hard to think of a better guide than D. V. Bishop to the brutality and glamour of Renaissance Florence In A Divine Fury, D.V. Bishop leads us on another darkly atmospheric journey through Medici Florence, keeping us constantly on our toes. Who can we trust and whom should we run from? I look forward to finding out what Cesare Aldo does next D.V. Bishop has such tremendous flair for a thrilling plot, a gruesome mystery, and engaging, relatable characters. It keeps you hooked and guessing all the way to its conclusion. With contemporary relevance about secrecy, hidden lives and cover-ups, Bishop’s books are stories to lose yourself in, with all the sights, sounds and smells of 16C Florence. But above all, this is the very finest in historical thriller storytelling This brilliant series from one of the UK's most talented writers of historical crime fiction just gets better and better. Macabre, bloody and sinister, DV Bishop's mix of fast paced plotting and historical detail is a masterful example of historical crime fiction at its finest Expand reviews
