JJoyce Yu’s Reviews > Death at La Fenice > Status Update

Just want to note for myself that we went to an opera at La fenice on our recent Italy trip. AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CONDUCTOR. Ok he didn’t collapse and die like scene 1 of this book but he did collapse and the performance did not finish. The whole time we were watching the paramedics work on the conductor I was thinking omg it’s just like death in la fenice!!!

Actually really enjoyed this. Loved the insights into facets of Italian society. Underlying mystery was pretty good. Very Agatha Christie-esque!

I love this Italian hercule poirot! Can foresee myself reading more in the series. Also I’m now listening to La traviata for the l’ambiente

Real Hercule parot (no idea how to spell) energy, but the detective also hates on Napoli!
