Third in the Commissario Guido Brunetti Italian police procedural series. When a man dressed in women's clothing is found in an area frequented by prostitutes in a smaller city near Venice, Guido is sent to investigate due to a staffing shortage in that district. With his vacation just on the horizon, Guido ends up having to send Paola and the children off to the mountains without him, while he slogs away in the oppressive heat and humidity of a Venice summer hunting for clues. As usual, some influential people end up mixed up in the mess that becomes the investigation and Guido has to tread on a few toes along the path to the solution. I really enjoy everything about this series--the author's writing style, the atmosphere she paints, and her characters, too. Excellent!

Also under the title The Anonomys Venetian, this was another enjoyable cop mystery. This one peeked into the Transvestite community on the edge of the Venetian society. It was well done. It did not get wrapped up in a debate on pervisions or their right/wrong-ness. Again it was a great mystery with a weel told story.

Another very good mystery in the Commissario Brunetti series. Leon always does a good job. You get some mystery, some Italian culture, some travelogue and always a good story line.

I enjoy the character of Brunetti, and the story line is interesting, even if the good guys don't always win. The setting, in Venice, is absorbing!
