City of Vengeance

Not bad first effort. I do love the period and the historical analysis (except for a few invented italian words) seem sound. I will dip into the next ones of the series.

A slow first half led to a cracking 2nd. I really like Aldo and Strocchi. The plethora of Florentine flunkies got a little overwhelming but the plot was tight and interesting. Will read the sequel.
