This book redeemed my last experience in the series.
I walked with Brunetti along Venice‘s cobbled streets & narrow alleys.We glided over canals & raced in water busses.We drank coffee & wine in its bars.A curmudgeon owner of a Murano glass making factory threatens the life of his environmentalist son-in-law because of his political stance.Then a night watchman in his factory dies under mysterious circumstances.Brunetti looks into both issues.

What an interesting read! Set in Kyiv, 1919, a period of great unrest. Samson Kolechko has lost his entire family, most recently his father who is murdered by one of the factions fighting for control of the city. In the attack, Samson loses an ear. Reporting thieving Red Army soldiers who seize space in his home, Samson is offered a job with the newly formed police force. Fine start of a new series with great characters. Beautifully translated.

An incredible read. I did not see the ending at all. Definitely one to read

A little tough to photograph the super-reflective public library cover. But my model did good. I peaked into this yesterday and seems I‘m reading it. Easy reading. (Reminds me of Gogol‘s The Nose in tone) #booker2024

The 2nd book in the Gereon Rath series.

Berlin, late February/ early March 1930. The police is called after an actress has died in what appears to be a tragic accident. Then another actress goes missing.

I loved how this book gave insight into the transition from silent movies to talkies, and how as with everything else not everyone likes the new technology and possibilities.

Another winner in the series

Dropped this about 14 pages in when the main character and a few others started having a really racist conversation. I did not wish to spend any more time with these characters.

Up late last night watching UConn v Iowa game - nail biter- UConn lost, 69-71. They did a great job keeping Caitlin Clark from 3pt scoring, with only 8 players to depend on.
Consequently,late morning coffee & reading.Em is curled up on my lap, totally content.😻This is perfect to read right now-spring weather & flowers interspersed throughout.Our weather has been crazy-snow Thursday, cloudy,cold,windy the last few days.#serieslove2024 Hope for☀️
