class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>“The lost girls of Rome” is a novel written by Donato Carrisi, who is best known for being a TV writer, but he has already written one novel and studied law and criminology. In this novel, there are two main plot lines involving Sandra, a forensic analyst, and Marcus, a private investigator. Sandra is a fairly new widow because her husband was involved in a suspected accident. However, some new evidence surrounding her husband’s death is making her lean towards different theories. As for Marcus, he is working on a case involving a missing college student. Are these two plot lines somehow related? You are going to have to read “The lost girls of Rome” to find out.</p> <p>Being a criminal justice major in college, this book was right up my ally of interest for novel genres. The writing is very mature and full of suspense. I was not sure what to think or figure out what was going to happen until the end of the book. I loved how this book kept me guessing until the end. If you love suspense thrillers and mysteries, this is the book for you.</p> <p>The only minor issue I found with “The lost girls of Rome” were the transitions between the plots. Other than that, I enjoyed reading this book. I could not put it down until I read every page and found out what happened. For those reasons, I am giving “The lost girls of Rome” a “B+.”</p> </div></div></div><h1 id="page-title">The Lost Girls of Rome</h1><div class="field field-name-field-talent field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Talent:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/talents/donato-carrisi" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Donato Carrisi</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/authors/donato-carrisi" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Donato Carrisi</a></div></div></div> Mon, 07 Oct 2013 02:57:52 +0000 Paul Arca 50340 at http://shakefire.com http://shakefire.com/review/the-lost-girls-of-rome#comments
