Product Information

"There is no one better than Donna Leon at showing the ripple effects of a single traumatic event ... Throughout this astonishingly consistent series Leon has recast the city in her own venerable image: full of surprises and hidden beauty." Evening Standard "All the things that are wrong with the city appear in these books: corruption, decay and overcrowding are part of the scenery and Leon pulls no punches describing them. But she still loves Venice and Brunetti and so do her readers." Literary Review "Effortlessly entertaining." Crime Time "A richly textured exploration of issues from corruption to art preservation to African migrants; add in the glorious eccentricities of Brunetti's police colleagues and the touching snapshots of family life, and you have a sparkling summer read." The Tablet, Summer Reading
