The Marshal is a Genius

The suspicious-looking suicide of the husband of the Marchesa of one of Florence's oldest families has the Marshal once again refusing to accept the easy answer. He insists on looking for the truth, knowing it could well be the end of his career should he find it. The Marshal has a couple of things going for him. First, nobody is threatened by him--nobody believes he's got a brain in his head. The Marshal himself says he doesn't think, he only observes. Secondly, unlike poor Guido Brunetti in Venice, the Marshal has a sympathetic boss who is fully aware of his talents. This is the fourth book I've read in this series, and I think they're excellent. Great characterization, excellent sense of place. I especially liked the twist of this plot. Good reading!
