Eh im on the fence with this one but I am glad it’s over. I always enjoy a murder mystery but this one just dragged on and I felt that there wasn’t really a strong enough plot to keep me engaged.
I was curious to who was the murderer and why and I just wasn’t impressed. I don’t think I will be reading any more in this series.

3.5* I rounded it up to 4 because of characters, which are very believable and real. Plot-wise, the second installment in the Brunetti series is weaker than the first one. The law doesn’t win. A lot of threads are left unresolved. The justice is served to only one of the perpetrators and not in the manner Brunetti would have wanted it.

A good Leon, the books are good in small bursts, but begin to get repetitive if you read many in a row. It was a good refreshing read after a while, less action and more intrigue. Brunetti is a more familiar, realistic main character.

Segundo caso del inspector Brunetti. Si en el primero se criticaba la homofobia, especialmente por aquellos que están lejos de ser un ejemplo de moralidad en cualquier ámbito, en éste Donna Leon la emprende con los vertidos tóxicos, los intereses económicos del gobierno en ello y sus nefastas consecuencias para el ser humano. Asistimos a la impotencia del comisario, que poco puede hacer ante el teatro de marionetas desplegado por los poderosos y sus influencias ¡Ah, sí! Es un novela negra. Hay un crimen. Bueno tres o cuatro en realidad pero eso es lo de menos ¿no?
