The Story
Cosimo is the absolute ruler of a small Italian state. He's feared, respected, and holds all the power. One morning, he's found dead in his private chambers. The door was locked from the inside. There's no weapon, no sign of a struggle, and no obvious cause of death. The city is thrown into chaos. An investigator is brought in to untangle the web of courtly intrigue, personal vendettas, and political schemes. Everyone had a reason to want Cosimo gone, but how could anyone have pulled it off?
Why You Should Read It
Forget fancy detective work; this is a story about pressure and atmosphere. Ernst builds a claustrophobic world where every glance and whispered conversation matters. The mystery is clever, but the real strength is watching how different characters react when the foundation of their world suddenly crumbles. You see ambition, fear, and hidden loyalties rise to the surface. It's a sharp look at how power works and what happens when it vanishes in an instant.
Final Verdict
This book is perfect for readers who enjoy classic, puzzle-box mysteries and rich historical settings. If you like stories where the setting is a character itself and the solution is satisfyingly logical, you'll have a great time. It's a smart, compact novel that proves you don't need action on every page to create real suspense.
