The Disappearance of Signora Giulia
The Disappearance of Signora Giulia | Piero Chiara
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
When the sad, beautiful Signora Giulia goes missing without a trace from her Lake Como villa home, it is her husband who reports her disappearance to the detective Sciancalepre, and so the search begins - one that takes Sciancalepre beneath the tranquil surface of local bourgeois society, a world of snobbery and secrets, while mysterious shadows lurk in the grounds of the family villa . . . As his investigation gathers pace this atmospheric classic detective story becomes a thrilling game of legal cat and mouse.

I‘ve never read a mystery novel quite like this one (that‘s really saying something!). Set in a post-war Italian village, this mystery about a missing wife literally digs up some interesting evidence. I really liked the surprising gore that surfaces near the end! Signora Giulia‘s ghost will haunt me for some time. 👻 💎 🪓 ✉️
