Reviews
Once again Donna Leon and David Colacci pair to create an entertaining listen. Ms. Leon's book is brought to life by Mr. Colacci who is an old friend of Commissario Brunetti's by now. With Brunetti it does not seem odd that a modern detective would flit between current pollution issues and Dante's Divine Comedy. The author adroitly sets the stage for a crime that doesn't occur until well into the book but the story never falters. This is not great literature but it is extremely well written and very entertaining. As usual this is not a book you want to listen to on an empty stomach for Brunetti's meals will drive you to the nearest restaurant in search of meal half as memorable as his everyday fare.
