'Crime writing of the highest order' GUARDIAN 'Donna Leon has been giving unto us for all of the thirty years since Death at La Fenice introduced us to Brunetti' Val McDermid The gifted Venetian detective returns in his 31st case - this time, investigating the Janus-faced nature of yet another Italian institution. Brunetti will have to once again face the blurred line that runs between the criminal and the non-criminal, bending police rules, and his own character, to help an acquaintance in danger. 'Both tremendously enjoyable and deeply humane' JESSIE GREENGRASS, Costa-shortlisted author of The High House 'Leon's elegant, witty prose . . . is a joy' AMANDA CRAIG

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.

Mehso-so

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.

Teresereading It's actually better than so-so, 3.5 🌟. The series is picking up after some disappointing reads afew years ago. 2y

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.
