Donna Leon’s bestselling mystery novels set in Venice have won a multitude of fans for their insider’s portrayal of La Serenissima.
From family meals to coffee bars, and from vaporetti rides to the homes and apartments of Venetians, the details and rhythms of everyday life are an integral part of this beloved series.
But so are the suffocating corruption, the never-ending influx of tourists, and crimes big and small.
Through it all, Leon’s Commissario Guido Brunetti has been an enduring figur.
