The 25th novel featuring Commissario Brunetti is a satisfying mix of lovely Venetian background, contemporary Venetian life - with its new waves of African migrants, problems of historical preservation and housing - his aristocratic in-laws and the turning around of a cold case involving the haunting story of a woman trapped in a perpetual childhood. A nice addition for Brunetti addicts - one of the very good ones - which at the end is quite touching, rare for Leon.
