4.0 out of 5 stars
a fascinating look inside Sicily,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Day of the Owl, Equal Danger (Godine Double Detective) (Paperback)
this is a fascinating read. The first novel in Italy to actually acknowledge and reveal some of the secrets of the Mafia. The mystery is not terribly convincing, but what matters is the sense of place and culture--which is wonderful. Not quite a police procedural, though it has the shape of one---but more a series of character and cultural portraits. For that, it deserves 4 stars.

Unbelieveable Tale about Post War Italy,
By Ryan Spaeth (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Day of the Owl (Hardcover)
Equal Dangers is a must read for anyone interested in the culture of the post world war two European societies. This book is a great reflection on the difficulties a society (Italy) had in re-constituting itself. Sciascia accomplishes this in such an intersting, "murder mystery" type of way that makes this book a real page turner.
