The Dead Season, Kent - C+

                                         This book is apparently the fourth in a police procedural series set in Florence.  Sandro Cellini is now retired and working as a private investigator.  A very pregnant young woman looking for her fiance sets up the story, which is focused around the characters in the local branch of a city-wide bank.  As it turns out, her fiance is using the name of the branch manager, who happens to have been killed by one of his colleagues. A policeman, a spouse, a city - it all adds up to a contrast to the Venetian series written by Donna Leon. I kept pining for Guido Brunetti and any of the twenty plus books he's featured in.
