Pretty unlikely scenario. That aside I found the dialogue stilted and uncomfortable.

The worst book in the series and my last. The Commissioner is more frantic than ever. Far too many descriptions of how beautiful the area is and the food. Distractions that add nothing.

Not very good at all. A huge amount activity takes place over two days - impossible. The crimes are not likely either and the ending is unsatisfactory. The translation from French must have been dome by a grade 12 student.

You can figure out the whole plot from the jacket description. Wordy, long descriptions of irrelevancy. Lost its charm

Another book about drinking coffee, eating pasta, complaining about tourists and corrupt government. As an aside Brunetti does some detective work. I keep hoping that she'll write like she did in the early novels.

A short story in a novel in a novel. Creates a bit of confusion but worth it. You can work it out if you care to try.

I hated the previous book but I thought I would give this a chance, Waste of time. Lots of filler: drinking coffee, eating sandwiches, complaining about the heat, tourists, cruise chip, Gypsies, and so on. Very simple crime... perhaps a short story. Elletra's ability to hack secure systems might have been clever in the early days- but unrealistic now.

What a terrible book. The worst in the whole series. Slow moving, wordy. It's a short story at best. Easy to solve murder. Even the family part was dull. Don't the kids grow up!

Interesting character. Opposite of Venice's Brunetti who likes everyone and everyone like him; as well he stole Brunetti's secrertary Elantra(???) who is capable of getting information quickly. Also not as likeable as Bruno - Chief of Police.
