Intrighi reali (Italian Edition)
It would take the writer too long to explain everything and that would make the book too long and would take the pace out of the story. Holt does give some background information on the way political games were played and uses events that actually took place, sometimes twisting them a bit to fit the story. All in all, it is a great read with a conclusion that could be taken as an opening for more books about these main characters wishful thinking on my part. I really recommend this trilogy to people who like well-researched page-turners with likeable but basic characters.
Jan 17, Tina rated it it was amazing. I'd say, it's the most underrated book, I've seen on this web-site so far.
It was a real page-turner! I loved everything in this book -the plot, the place - Venice, the characters In my opinion, it deserved much more interest, than it got Besides, to be honest, the cover of the book, I've read was a bit dull and it said nothing about such an intriguing story, whereas I'd say, it's the most underrated book, I've seen on this web-site so far. Besides, to be honest, the cover of the book, I've read was a bit dull and it said nothing about such an intriguing story, whereas the cover of "The Absolution" reflects it much better.

It is the body of a senior partner in a catholic Bank, and the the mask he is found wearing is linked to free masonry.

It leads her to believe there was a cover up during the Cold War that could have led to the death of her father.
Daniel Barbo, the creator of Venice as a virtual world known as Carnivia, learns that someone has hacked his software with the intention of using Carnivia to cause a major catastrophe. The three story lines converge from intriguing smaller plots, to a larger conspiracy involving terrorists, the CIA, and Freemasons.
It is intelligent, detailed in terms of plot, location, and character, and highly engaging. Questions about Daniel Barbo's kidnappers from the earlier books are answered, Holly Boland discovers the truth about her past which leads to a dark unexpected resolution, and Kat Tapo matures as a Carabinieri Officer.
She has to get to grips with a personal tragedy, and learns what innocent people are capable of when they are confronted with the truth. It's an emotional end to an original and riveting trilogy which leaves the reader fully satisfied with the ending. We learn new aspects to older characters that adds a richness and depth which makes this an above average thriller.

Jul 01, Kathy Heare Watts rated it it was amazing Shelves: Mystery, suspense, danger, and more. I won an uncorrected proof advanced reading copy of this book during a Goodreads giveaway. I am under no obligation to leave a review or rating and do so voluntarily. So that others may also enjoy this book, I am paying it forward by donating it to a senior assisted living facility. Excellent This was brilliant. A very convoluted story showing how the CIA manipulated Italian politics during the seventies to the present day. I can only compare this series of books to the Millennium series and recommend it to anyone.
The Absolution
The Traitor 4 stars Jonathan Holt An excellent read A man is murdered in a ritualistic way and his body dumped or was it carefully placed? Who is lying and who can be trusted? The CIA, a rogue Freemason lodge, the police, an all encompassing social network — these are all players in a complex web of intrigue and cyber terrorism. Two of the main characters are women from different sides of the Atlantic who become The Traitor 4 stars Jonathan Holt An excellent read A man is murdered in a ritualistic way and his body dumped or was it carefully placed?
Two of the main characters are women from different sides of the Atlantic who become intricately involved in attempting to search for their version of the truth. The choice of Venice as a setting works well and the flavour of the city is well established from an early point. Attention to detail pays dividends as in the full description of Italian dishes which whet the appetite in more than one way. The main characters are well conceived with their strengths and weaknesses fully explored.
The plot is expertly developed and rattles along at a good pace towards an ending which rather leaves the reader hanging as to what happens to the main characters.
Product details
As the last of the Carnivia trilogy it might have been expected that loose ends were tied up. However, this is the only criticism of a novel which is well worth reading. Dec 31, Wdmoor rated it it was ok Shelves: I loved the first book in this series - The Abomination. The second book in the series was almost as good, but Mr Holt's obsession with America and the CIA as the font of the world's evil got a little tiring.
In The Absolution Mr Holt's dislike with American armed forces actually leads to a whole paragraph taking a gratuitous swipe at the daughters of military personnel as being little more than sluts and whores.

And it's too bad, because it's a good story and I get frustrated when an author's obsessions keep sidetracking a good thriller. IMHO if you have your knickers in wringer about something and you're feeling all righteous, then write a damn essay and quit pretending you're writing a novel.

I read this book less than a month ago I got the basics I know it is the end of a trilogy. I know the American was back to find out why her father was in a stroke who caused it!? I enjoyed it while I read it, This book was forgettable. May 10, J. Not really a round up of the trilogy, so much as the same set of characters looking at a new mystery.
Fascinating look into the U. Presence in Italy as well as the corruption of the State.

A find balance of love for Venice and bleak outlook on its political future. Some scary ideas about cyber terrorism that seem all too possible. I'm also puzzled about the rebranding of the other titles. The Abomination is now The Boatman which seems such a weak title compared to the first.

Venice thrives Another conspiracy theory, yet, totally defined as believable the good vs the bad. America it seems has a lot to answer for. The last of the trilogy which is a shame.. I'm sure the author could get a further novel out of the rest? An amazing adventure I'm sorry to see this series end. I'm also a little disappointed in it. I do understand the need for context and good historical research to make something believable.
However this felt like a great deal of time spent in the context and not as much in the complexities of tying things together. That said, it is still one of the best series on the market. Jul 09, Debbie rated it it was amazing. Well, not this time! I am emotionally spent. While each book easily stands alone as its own story, I recommend reading the trilogy and in order. It will make the third book that much MORE.
Conspiracy Theories Paradise All that is missing is a grassy knoll. What starts out as a murder mystery evolves into a terrorist plot. A plot to blow up Venice? Who is behind it? The usual suspects, of course. This book even puts me in mind of Live free, Die hard. There is more than a drop of cyber terrorism here. There is even a count down and a race to save lives. Dec 12, Glen rated it it was ok Shelves: I won this novel in a goodreads drawing. A nearly impenetrable conspiracy thriller, almost like a fever dream of interconnected conspiracies, complete with a healthy serving of anti-Americanism.
