Drawing Conclusions
Drawing Conclusions: A Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery | Donna Leon
5 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
Nearly twenty years ago, when a conductor was poisoned and the Questura sent a man to investigate, readers first met Commissario Guido Brunetti. Since 1992s Death at La Fenice, Donna Leon and her shrewd, sophisticated, and compassionate investigator have been delighting readers around the world. For her millions of fans, Leons novels have opened a window into the private Venice of her citizens, a world of incomparable beauty, family intimacy, shocking crime, and insidious corruption. This internationally acclaimed, bestselling series is widely considered one of the best ever written, and Atlantic Monthly Press is thrilled to be publishing the twentieth installment, Drawing Conclusions, this spring. Late one night, Brunetti is called away from dinner to investigate the death of a widow in her modest apartment. Though there are some signs of a struggle, the medical examiner rules that she died of a heart attack. It seems there is nothing for Brunetti to investigate. But he cant shake the feeling that something or someone may have triggered her heart attack, that perhaps the woman was threatened. Conversations with the womans son, her upstairs neighbor, and the nun in charge of the old-age home where she volunteered, do little to satisfy Brunettis nagging curiosity. With the help of Inspector Vianello and the ever-resourceful Signorina Elettra, perhaps Brunetti can get to the truth and find some measure of justice. Insightful and emotionally powerful, Drawing Conclusions reaffirms Donna Leons status as one of the masters of literary crime fiction.

Long week, that got longer tonight. I have a pipe leaking. Not big leak and it's been going on for awhile, it was inside a wall in the basement. I took out part of the wall, it's an unfinished basement, it was a rough plaster sheet, taped the pipe with Gorilla tape, looked up the best plumber and they are coming 7 am tomorrow morning. I need hockey and a book tonight to get out of my head. #readingandwatchinghockey Being a grown up is hard.

mcipher Being a grown up is stupid. We all should have someone else to take care of us and our broken pipes! I want someone to clean my bathroom and cook dinner, too. 😆 6y

Good read. Best Brunetti for a while, investigating questions around the apparent death of a widow from a heart attack. Mostly Brunetti, with minor cameos from Paolo, Elettra, Vianello, Patta etc.
