Nothing is true except the eyes

Title of the original version reviewed: «Niente di vero tranne gli occhi»

AI Translation Notice: This review was translated from the original Italian using artificial intelligence. Book quotes and excerpts are translated interpretations and will not match the author's original English phrasing or official published translations.

With this novel as well, Faletti confirms his standing as a fine author of American-style thrillers.
An excellent style and a brisk narrative pace that nonetheless leaves room for evocations of the mysteries surrounding life and human relationships.
The only flaw lies in the fact that the protagonist sees the scenes through the eyes of one of the murder victims—eyes that were transplanted into her.
It is an implausible conceit that introduces a jarring note, one that is, moreover, superfluous to the unfolding of the plot.
