About this listen

 Commissario Guido Brunetti's hopes for a refreshing family holiday in the mountains are once again dashed when a gruesome discovery is made in Marghera--a body so badly beaten the face is completely unrecognizable. Brunetti searches Venice for someone who can identify the corpse but is met with a wall of silence. He then receives a telephone call from a contact who promises some tantalizing information. And before night is out, Brunetti is confronting yet another appalling, and apparently senseless, death.©1994 Donna Leon (P)2009 BBC Audio International Mystery & Crime Mystery Police Procedural Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Italy Celebration

Simply fun

Tried and true. Entertaining with snapshots of Venetian life. I look forward to another one. Narrator captures the sound and feel.

Another Great Guido Brunetti Mystery

I enjoyed the storyline of this Brunetti mystery very much. It had a last-minute twist which I was not expecting, but I was very happy to hear. The things that I love the most about Leon's writing style is that she makes life in Venice so incredibly vibrant that it almost forms like a picture in your mind. I can feel the heat of the sun on my skin, and smell the magic of the things that she describes. I especially appreciate the very loving but down to earth relationship that Brunelli has with his wife. The most special part of what she does is the incredibly subtle, frequent and intelligent humor. What a delight it is!!!

As for David Colacci's narration, well he just adds the finishing touch of realism to Leon's words. I absolutely love the way that he interprets and phrases these stories. He makes them sing with life. I particularly love when he speaks Italian. He's obviously a native Italian speaker.

Loen and Colacci together are a magnificent duo.

I am so looking forward to the next book.
