Mysteries to Die For Book Club: “Death of an Englishman” by Magdalen Nabb

Murder in a historic Italian city frames the discussion for the Mysteries to Die For Book Club as they dissect Magdalen Nabb’s Death of an Englishman. Meeting at Bookstore1Sarasota, readers will examine the first entry in Nabb’s long-running series featuring Marshal Guarnaccia of the Florentine carabinieri. The conversation will focus on how the author utilizes the claustrophobic expatriate community in Florence to build tension, subverting the romanticized tourist view of the city. The moderator-led group evaluates the protagonist’s slow, methodical investigative style and the intricate cultural friction between the local Italian police and British suspects.
