The Florentine Mourners: The Third Adventure of Leonardo Da Vinci and Niccolo Da Pavia

Summary: The Who's Who of the Renaissance in another Whodunnit
Review: I enjoy George Herman's style and humor. The characters are all so real and witty. The use of Di Vinci as a crime solver is a brilliant idea. A lot of historical mystery novels feature sleuths whose talents are limited to being at the right place at the right time in ways that are predictable and contrived, but Di Vinci actually uses his well documented gifts for mathematics and science in a manner similiar to those of modern crime scene investigators. This is exactly the type of historic mystery that I love to read!
