Whodunit

Fruttero & Lucentini were an Italian writing duo (Franco Fruttero and Carlo Lucentini) known for their crime novels and work as editors/translators. They are notable for La donna della domenica and for their influential role in Italian mystery fiction.

The review and public sources note their association with publishers such as Einaudi and Mondadori. La donna della domenica is set in Turin in the early 1970s and has a film adaptation whose opening minutes (mentioned in the review) feature Jacqueline Bisset.

A detailed, appreciative review that praises Fruttero & Lucentini for their atmospheric depiction of Turin and their slow, compelling mystery plotting. The reviewer highlights the book's portrait of early-1970s Turin and recommends watching the opening minutes of the film adaptation (featuring Jacqueline Bisset) before reading. Overall the review regards the authors as giants of the Italian thriller.

For:Readers of Italian crime fiction and anyone interested in Turin-set mysteries.

They were giants of the Italian thriller, for pity's sake, but it should also be said that even someone who isn't a writer, living in Turin, would be put in a position to write at least a passable mystery.
