Art Of Crime

The depth of emotion.

The tragic intensity of all the familial relationships kept me on the edge of my seat!

wonderful

She has built two families and explores issues of the world. Four more words waisted.

a great read

Donna Leon again transports us to a world she helps us to better experience and understand. She successfully creates for us a compelling story. Her portrayal of characters is vivid, the tone poignant. With every book I appreciate Venice even more and feel more connection to Brunetti and to his colleagues and family. Well done!

Most definitely one of Leon’s best

This is most definitely one of the best novels in the Brunetti series, touchingly written. Colacci’s narration is superb.

Excellent story/excellent reader

However, the recorded volume was too low. We had to almost strain to hear parts of the book.

another good detective story of Donna Leon

The book - as many of Donna Leon books, is well written thriller story, that makes you keep reading/listening. very good when you have long drives or tedious tasks to do :-).
As in other books - the story reveals the holes in the justice as well as criticism on the Italian government.
It is well narrated and I found its 8+ hours well spent.

Questionable honor

This was an interesting mystery with many characters were wonderfully written. The characters bring Venice to life and easily drew me into the story. It's a story full of saddness that revolves arou d one man's twisted idea of honor. In his quest to revive his families honor he ends up distroying them all. The narrator is excellent.

Mystery

This novel keeps you captivated. I’ve read Donna Leon and she’s come to be one of my favorite authors. I took the pleasure of listening to this book. Full of twists and turns keeps you guessing, but never solve the mystery. Love this series and all the characters in it.

A Noble Tale

I enjoyed this book, Donna Leon's writing takes me away to Venice and adventures and sights and sounds of wonder.
I find David Colacci a steadfast guide with just enough drama and just enough relaxation to paint vivid pictures of all the characters I have come to care about.
I am thrilled to find these books available to listen to. It has made chemo so much easier for me.
