Read With Alexandra (RWA)

Submitted by Alexandra Marino Durmišević

This month we have another RWA first. “Pentimento Mori” was originally published in Italian in July 2024 with the title (Con l’arte e con l’inganno). I received an English translation from Kazabo Publishing in celebration of it being named one of the best books of 2024 by the Washington Independent Review of Books. The author, Valeria Corciolani, is one of Italy’s best-selling mystery authors. Pentimento Mori is her first novel to be translated into English.
