All Brunetti and especially bookish Brunetti fans will be happy to know that Leon's newest has to do with books, and antiquarian books at that. Books, libraries, restorers, ancient manuscripts, Brunetti has to delve into the murky world of borrowers and copiers, not to mention dealers and sellers. Still amazingly fresh and original, steeped in things and places Venetian, this follows the good, and himself very bookish, Commissario on his bookish rounds. A treat!
