Publisher's Note Establishing Dibdin as a master of the historical mystery, "A Rich Full Death" begins in 1855 Florence at the hanging of Isabel Eaken. Engrossing, lively, lush with details, this evocative story has been seamlessly created from both fact and fancy, characters both imagined and real.
Industry Reviews "Back in print after far too long, [A RICH FULL DEATH] showcases author Michael Dibdin's hilariously sardonic touch and persuasive intelligence....This is a well-plotted, well-written read, and if we feel as foolish as the narrator at the end, that's only because we've been paying attention." McGarrahan
"Compared with the Italianate expansiveness and operatic intensity of his Aurelio Zen series, Michael Dibdin's historical mystery A RICH FULL DEATH seems a mild literary anecdote. As, indeed, it is--but one told by a storyteller adept at manipulating both his material and his listeners' imaginations." New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio (08/08/1999)
