Who next for Giallo Club?

Having battled manfully (or womanfully, or not at all) through the Via Merulana it is time for the club to move on.

My nominees for next book are A Simple Story by Leonardo Sciascia or the De Luca trilogy by Carlo Lucarelli (starting with Carte Blanche). Post your thoughts here or tweet them to @ginkers and we will take it from there. Happy to go for other suggestions too.

In an almost giallo-related aside, I watched The American with George Clooney last night which is set mostly in Italy. Lovely backdrop, plot was a bit lethargic. I ended up with a strange craving for a decent coffee in a smalltown bar somewhere. And maybe a nice countryside picnic...
