Just finished the last novel (#15 Volver) in the C

Just finished the last novel (#15 Volver) in the Commissario Ricciardi series by Maurizio de Giovanni. WWII has begun, and life has changed for all…

The title “Volver”, taken from Carlos Gardel’s 1934 Spanish song, captures the bittersweet truth: you can return physically to a place, but time and experiences forever change both the place and the person.

💔 I’m incredibly sad to close this saga. Each book intrigued and moved me, and I became utterly addicted to these characters. I cried buckets after the 12th book— Il pianto dell’alba!

But the story isn’t over—at least not for me. I’ve chosen Book #1, Il senso del dolore, as the Fall 2025 Matta Book Club pick (starting in October). I can’t wait to dive into it again with readers.

And… if anyone has read the last book Volver, let’s talk! I’d love to hear your thoughts about the ending. I definitely have my own strong opinion on where Ricciardi’s life will go from here…and addio a Livia!
