Welcome to Litsy!

My wake up coffee, cinnamon croissant, & a book. #10BeforetheEnd
Enjoy your Sunday everyone!💕

Elisabetta: Why are you here?
Guido: I need to talk to you…about Bruno.
Me: We don‘t talk about Bruno, no no no!🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyway, this was an enjoyable return to the Guido Brunetti series. I read book 1 several years ago, and this is book 31 or so. The “mystery” here was a private request from Guido‘s childhood neighbor, which somehow ended up involving several of his colleagues on the force. More interesting was the look at post(?) COVID Venice.

Italy again! Another visit to Venice with Commissario Brunetti. Once again, it's a private rather than criminal quest. Echoes of my visit to Venice and Brunetti's ruminations on post-pandemic life in his city. Always enjoyable, an old friend.

I love the Commissario Brunetti series and enjoyed this return to form. Leon depicts life in Venice beautifully with favourite and new characters and an intriguing mystery. A good escapist read.
