A young girl has mysteriously disappeared in Rome. On the case are Clemente and Marcus, two members of the ancient Penitenzeri: a unique team, linked to the Vatican, and trained in the detection of true evil. Sandra, a brilliant forensics expert with a tragic past, is also working on the case. When their paths cross, they uncover a terrible secret world, hidden in the dark recesses of Rome....

Complex but kept you intrigued

Would you listen to The Lost Girls of Rome again? Why?

Don't know. I've never listened to any of my audible books again - thus far. Probably not, I couldn't really get on with the Narrator

What did you like best about this story?

The swift movement from character story line to another with each story slowly merging together in to an exciting finale

What three words best describe Saul Reichlin’s performance?

Bland, Inappropriate accents.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, because of monotone narration

Any additional comments?

If you are choosing a Narrator to cover a book based in the eternal city, then a person who can sound remotely Italian would have helped. The Narrator was able to pull off the Austrian/German accent very well for one key character, so it's not as if he was told to keep the same voice throughout. This spoilt otherwise an excellent story. In some ways I wish I'd bought the paperback. Sorry this is the first time I've been critical of an audio purchase.

Superb!

Complex narrative, made up of many threads that are carefully linked but difficult to unravel. Not a dull moment in this book. Could not stop listening. Saul Reichlen is of course one of the best narrators and he adds to the pleasure of this listen. Highly recommended. Hope to have more by this author soon!

Enjoyable thriller

I enjoyed this immensely. Largely set in Rome, with several interwoven stories, featuring around a dead journalist, his police investigator wife, a serial killer and agents of divine intervention. Lots of twists and turns, superably narrated as ever by Saul Reichlin.

Excellent follow-up

Great story and plotting. Enjoyed it almost as much as the Whisperer. Saul Reichlin is a joy to listen to.

Wow

Excellent story, engrossing and well performed. Very atmospheric too - I can imagine being there - in the churches and streets of Rome

Brilliant thriller

Donato Carrisi never disappoints! I have enjoyed this thriller so much! I felt like being transformed onto the streets of Rome. This book had so many twists and turns, and I could not have predicted the ending at all (always a good sign of a book). Fantastic book! 👏
