Helpful Score: 1

Having read several of Ms. Leon's Guido Brunetti mysteries, I'm inclined to rate this as average. As always, Venetian color and atmosphere are present and effective. Brunetti is his same old self. But, for me, the story lacked some interest. That said, I would prefer to read a Brunetti mystery over 90 percent of the rest of the books in the mystery genre. She has created a character rich in his own life, particularly in his marriage, and her inventiveness rarely fails to impress. In short, if you're a Donna Leon fan, read this book.
