As I have enjoyed all the Lincoln Rhyme books this one took me by surprise at the lack of a story. It started out just great and when they landed in Italy, it all went sideways.
I could only think of the Amanda Knox story, and how the Italian government/police and prosecutors did such a inept job and how they tried to cover their own butts.
The characters were distinct and not relatable except for Ercole and only because he was with Sachs most of the time.
Story had no meat to it so it seemed to wonder around and not go anywhere. Was disappointed in this storyline and hope the next one will be better.
