5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating who-done-it set in the city of Venice, 8 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Step into the romance and soul of Venice, known as the jewel of the Adriatic, but hiding murder and intrigue in the dark twists and turns of it's canals. The writer brings it all to life through the person of Commissario Brunetti, the Questura detective who brings the full flavour of the whimsical character of the Venetian citizens as he pursues his investigations. Bodies are found and as Brunetti coams the city for evidence, he has to unravel the involvement of Italian and Mafia wealth and vested interests to unmask the culprits. The author lives near Venice, and her knowledge of the people is evident throughout, and a joy to share. You will love every page, and want more I can assure you.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absorbing read, 25 Jul 2007
By John Jackson "proceptor" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Death of Faith (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in two sittings.
The characters are believable, the pace is cracking and the plot involving. It also contains a philosophical 'bon mot' or two on religion and the material world, and for that alone it is worth the time.
The main character is a not-so-down-trodden policeman, the descriptions of Venice are evocative, especially if you have ever visited the city, and the machinations of the plot are very credible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo Brunetti, 25 April 2009
By Hobo (England) - See all my reviews
This is my 4th Brunetti book and it didn't disappoint. Donna Leon's books are very enjoyable with strong characters like Brunetti.Set in and around Venice Leon takes the reader into the the heart Of Venetian life and crime.Brunetti comes across as a very likeable detective with an ordinary and loving family.This novel is very powerful and possibly controversial,involving Religion,murder and suggestion of child abuse.Powerful connections in the church,politics put pressure on all involved.The bloody climax in the hospital ward and the way the child abuser is dealt with makes it an enthralling read. If you haven't read Leon,give her a try.

If you haven't read any other books in the Guido Brunetti series, don't start with this one. Go back and begin with Death at La Fenice. Read more
