Praise for The Innocent
“It is so good to walk with [Magdalen Nabb] through the animated streets of Florence, with its carabinieri, its ordinary people, its little trattorie and even its noisy tourists. It’s all so alive, you can hear the noises, smell the smells, see that morning mist on the fast flowing Arno . . . Bravissimo!”
—Georges Simenon
“[Nabb crafts a] sense of estrangement [that] accounts for Guarnaccia’s special perspective on strangers, those ‘innocents’ among the living and the dead . . . Once a stranger, she knows, always a stranger.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“The richest mystery here . . . is Florence itself, whose intricate politics and class structure Nabb parses with precision and wit.”
—The Washington Post
Praise for Magdalen Nabb
“Artfully understated . . . [An] elegant series.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“[Nabb] writes in graceful, calm prose.”
—The Associated Press
“Lovely measured language . . . Offers such pleasures as great local atmosphere and rich characterizations.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Lean, elegant prose that surpasses the best of Simenon.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“[A] superb series.”
—Booklist
“Guarnaccia’s Florence is a delightful place to visit.”
—Mystery Scene

—Mystery Scene
It is spring in Florence and everyone around Marshal Guarnaccia seems to be in love, even his own son. The case he is working on, the murder of a young woman, seems to present no particular problems. No distressed parents, no political or influential connections, no pressure from the media. The investigation takes him only a few steps from home, to the Boboli gardens and to the artisans' quarter - where he knows everybody and everybody knows him. The locals also trust him - until he seems to be accusing one of them...
Then everything changes. A second death follows and Guarnaccia is convinced that it is his fault. The case becomes one of the most distressing he's ever had to handle. Burdened with guilt, he finds it impossible to trust his own instincts any more...But he has to learn to do so before he can get at the truth...
