Encouraged by reviews of other Donna Leon novels on this list, I decided to make the acquaintance of Commissaire Brunetti. Nor was I disappointed. This is the first of the Brunetti novels. The Commissaire finds himself engaged in solving the mystery surrounding the death of a famous conductor. Old fashioned police work, an engaging detective, a clever twist in the end - and Venice. I shall be reading more.
