Such beauty in this #26 of this series.
Beauty in Brunetti‘s acceptance of his need to take a leave from work to rest,recharge.The beauty of the largest island in the laguna,Sant‘Erasmo,where his wife‘s relative has a villa he can recuperate in.Here he spends his days rowing with the villa‘s caretaker, David.The soothing beauty in the rhythm of the oars in water quiets his mind.As David checks on his bees along the laguna,to his anguish,he ⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ discovers they are dying.Then David goes missing & Brunetti investigates,which leads him to discover a decades old accident & cover up that is linked to David. As always, Brunetti is reading, this time (edited) 2d

A 15-year-old crime:a teenage girl fell into a canal & began to drown.An alcoholic man saw this & jumped in to save her.But lack of oxygen caused sprain damage.Now the age of 30 she is like a seven-year-old.As always,we see Venice through Brunetti‘s eyes,as well as his family & home life,including his family‘s meals & reading choices, described with exquisite attention to detail.The murder of the alcoholic man brings this 15 year old case ⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ Into the present. #serieslove2025. #30 (edited) 3w

Flavia Petrelli,world renowned opera singer,has come to Venice to sing the lead in Tosca. Brunetti knows her from the past(Acqua Alta) & he & his wife Paola go to one of her performances.During thunderous applause,dozens & dozens of yellow rose flood the stage& fill up her dressing room. Flavia is frightened-who is behind this extravaganza? What does it mean? #serieove2025

TheSpineView Well done! 3w

Yay! We have SUN! I am having coffee on my porch while I wait for the Village‘s Memorial Day Parade to go by. Surrounded by a canopy of bird song: American Goldfinch, Mocking bird, House Wren, Gray Catbird, Northern Cardinal,Red -winged Blackbird, Robin, Mourning Dove, Eastern Towee to name of few (Merlin Bird ID). Other than the birds, it‘s quiet. #porchlife #serieslove2025

So many emotions ran through me while reading this book: deep sadness,anger,awe.It‘s the story of a mentally handicapped man,who works in a dry cleaning business that Brunetti‘s wife Paola frequents.She learns he has died & she asks Brunetti to look into his death.As a favor to her he does,but finds no trace of the man- it‘s as if he didn‘t exist.Is his “viper” of a mother or his Aristocratic father‘s family involved in his death?

TheSpineView Fantastic!👍📖 3mo
Andrew65 I really must get back to this series. Well done 👏👏👏 3mo
kspenmoll @Andrew65 There is a HUGE sprawling, multi-building used book store about an hour from me that I heard about here on Litsy from @Amiable & went for the first time last summer. I scored an amazing, looking like new set of this series, 13 books! 3mo
Andrew65 @kspenmoll Wow, that‘s brilliant. 3mo
Amiable @kspenmoll The Book Barn rarely disappoints! ❤️ 3mo
