About this listen

A sudden act of vandalism had just been committed in the chill Venetian dawn. But Commissario Guido Brunetti soon finds out that the perpetrator is no petty criminal. For the culprit waiting to be apprehended at the scene of the crime is none other than Paola Brunetti, his wife.

As Paola's actions provoke a crisis in the Brunetti household, Brunetti himself is under increasing pressure at work: a daring robbery with Mafia connections is linked to a suspicious death and his superiors need quick results. As his professional and personal lives clash, Brunetti's own career is under threat - and the conspiracy which Paola had risked everything to expose draws him inexorably to the brink ...

Critic reviews

Donna Leon has established Commissario Guido Brunetti as one of the most engaging of fictional detectives ... Brunetti is ... back on track, sadder perhaps, but wiser and wittier than ever
A splendid series ... with a backdrop of the city so vivid you can smell it
One of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever
No one knows the labyrinthine world of Venice . . . like Leon's Brunetti
[Brunetti's] humane police work is disarming, and his ambles through the city are a delight
The sophisticated but still moral Brunetti, with his love of food and his loving family, proves a worthy custodian of timeless values and verities
A masterly tale ... intriguing, fast-moving, and beautifully crafted
Donna Leon can paralyse the reader with a joyful suspense, lost in the environs of Venice and hopelessly in love with her central character and his wife

Good plot as usual but overall such a short book and so much less content

Interesting but short

Intriguing plot woven around familiar characters and introducing criminals unknown. Easily narrated by John Nettles known to us all for his detective acting parts.

Beautifully written

Wonderful

Narrator has a lovely voice. The story is twisty as you may imagine from a Donna Leon story. I’d recommend it.

Intriguing

Good story and performance both. Unfortunately I did not see that I was buying an abridged version of the book until it was too late. No refunds possible so I had to make do with it. I think I would have enjoyed the unabridged more, but I'm not going to buy two versions - I already know whodunnit and how!

Bought abridged version by mistake
