But when an unexpected letter arrives, the past finally catches up to her.

Because her parents’ death was no accident…and now their killer is coming for her.

Armed with nothing but her own instincts, Gia must go undercover to escape the dangerous people on her trail. Each wrong turn could be her last, but she refuses to go down without a fight.

If you like fast paced crime thrillers you will definitely enjoy this one!
I mentioned somewhere or another that you can borrow books for free if you are a Prime member. This was one of the books I decided to take a chance with. This was non stop twists and turns as Gia set out to avenge her parents death--once she found out that they were murdered and did not die in a fire in their home!Gia is definitely a force to be reckoned with as many who were trying to stop her found out! She felt unloved from when she was a child by her Mom--and she really did not like her brother at all--but when he turned up dead--she really goes ballistic. She suspects her beloved Godfather and confronts him---then he is found dead. Gia is the numero uno suspect--She uncovers letters that her Mom left in a bank vault years before--and heads off to Italy.What she ultimately finds out will astound you! This novel is a fast read simply because I couldn't stop reading until the very end. If you like fast paced crime thrillers you will definitely enjoy this one!

The story is intriguing and the characters are larger than life. The reader will be rooting for Gia to find her answers about how her parents died and why her mother seemed to love her brother more than she loved her.

Things I liked:
- the adventure and unpredictable actions from the main character
- all the characters
- the subtle hints she was rich without saying it

Things I didn’t like:
- I wished there was more character development
- I felt like something’s told me how to feel instead of me actually feeling it
- the unanswered questions. Like who did kill her brother?

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and depressing
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2019

Graphic violence, sexual abuse.

Stand-alone that is easy to follow and difficult to put down. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama. Not all questions are answered.

Intriguing storyline filled with family dynamics, sociopathic behaviors and wondering how anyone can remain sane. There is a core of strength that keeps the lead character on an even keel. The characters and dialogue are believable.

No desire to re-read this story. I may be interested in other works by this author.

Ms. Belcamino kept all her characters in line from beginning to end. The ending was surprising, but makes one want to read the sequels.

Gia is a very strong character, much like some Italian women I know and are related to. I loved her during the first half of the book but got a little sick of her during the second. It lost something in the second half of the book but I really can't put my finger on it. I think maybe she was too much of a drama queen.

Gia in the City of the Dead was a free download from the author Kristi Belcamino. I write this review voluntary. A first time read, it certainly will not be the last. Great storyline, wonderful characters and plenty of thrilling action. Kristie Belcamino is up there with the best. Loved it. Highly recommend.

Easy reading. The supporting cast are a little standard but this didn't detract from the story. I liked the way it bowled along and it showed promise for the author that she killed off some characters unexpectedly as a lot of writers are reluctant to do this.
