Omens of Death by Richard Kurti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1497 Rome. Pope Alexander VI has been convinced to build a new St Peter's Church, until the murder of the Count Barberini. He is sure that it is divine intervention. Siblings Cristina and Domenico Falchoni investigate to determine the real motive and guilty party. But events accelerate and more people die. Cristina because of her studies believes she knows best, coupled with a stubbornness and unworldly view causes problems.
An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its likeable characters. A good start to this new series.
