Advantages: Funny with some great description of the city Disadvantages: Not a serious crime thriller, not many suspects
Background:
This author was recommended to me again by my well read boss. Originally she introduced me to Donna Leon and she said she thought I would like this author too. As he also writes crime fiction with a Detective Aurelio Zen also based in Italy.
About the Author:
Michael Dibdin was born in Wolverhampton in March 1947. He qualified as a teacher in Alberta, before moving to Italy in 1979. This was when his writing career took of. Indeed in 1988 he won the Crime Writers Association Maccallan Gold Award for fiction and was shortlisted again in 1991.

A synopsis of the book:
This book features the Inspector Aurelio Zen as the investigating officer. He is summoned with immediate effect to Bologna to oversee the Police investigation ...
Advantages: Great story, interesting Disadvantages: Is it true??
The Da Vinci Code is probably one of the most controversial books of the modern day. When it was released it caused a storm. The Da Vinci code was released in 2003.It was written by Dan Brown and was an international bestseller.The book has sold 80 million copies as of 2009 and has been translated into 44 language. Most people, I know me included always thought this was his first novel. However, his first novel was actually Angels and Demons which was released in 2000. I've read the book and really really enjoyed it. It's one of those books that I think keeps you mesmerised from beginning to end. I found it hard to put down. Of course, the subject matter is very controversial and although it is meant to be somewhat fictional I can see elements of truth in it.
The basic story features Robert Langdon, a professor of Symbology. He is ...
and for Alice himself, DaDa was neither the final album he wrote nor was it representative of his general talent. Equally fortunately, this down period in Cooper's life did not last - by mid-1984, he had solved his marital problems and by 1986 he returned to the music scene with more "normal" albums, such as "Constrictor" and with his successful "The Nightmare Returns" tour.
Although one can hardly call this album a "hit album", it is nonetheless an album that should find its way into any Alice Cooper's fan collection and should be listened to by anyone who considers themselves a music expert, as it does have some historical value.

Manufacturer's product description
This wonderful trattoria is one of the few restaurants still doing classic Bolognese cuisine. Hosts Franco and Ezio Bolini insist that all the produce be fresh. The menu's signature dish is tortellina Montegrappa, a pasta favorite served in cream-and-meat sauce. The restaurant is also known for its fresh white truffles and mushrooms. A good example is the graminia, a very fine white spaghetti presented with mushrooms, cream, and pepper. A heavenly salad is made with truffles, mushrooms, parmigiano, and artichokes.
