I love the Inspector Brunetti series and rank those I have read with either a four or five star review. I like the way the author weaves the personal life of Guido and his wife, her parents, his children, into the stories. I like being the "tourist" in Venice, Italy, where the mysteries are set. I am sure Venetians are not fond of the way Leon depicts Italian, and especially Venetian, governmental corruption, but it seems she has a real handle on life in Italy.
If you are new to the series, they are stand-alone mysteries, but starting with the first one will provide you with more details about Brunetti's family and professional life. Recurring characters are interesting!
