Lucifer's Shadow is a very well-written thriller. Hewson evokes Venice masterfully, and shows great skill in interweaving his parallel plots and parallel characters.
I have a couple of reservations about the book, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. The explanation of what was behind everything that happened in the present-day story was a bit implausible: the more I think about it, the less it seems to hang together. Also, some of the violent acts that take place in the book are described in too much gruesome detail. A good writer (and Hewson is one) should have been able to establish that his villain is a despicable sadist without having to resort to such lurid descriptions of his sadistic acts.
However, those reservations marred my enjoyment of the book only slightly. If you're looking for a cross between Donna Leon's Inspector Brunetti mysteries and Daphne Du Maurier's Don't Look Now (there's a nice, fleeting reference to the movie version of Don't Look Now, as if Hewson were tipping his hat to a source of inspiration), then Lucifer's Shadow is the book for you.
