Very enjoyable read. I disagree with this book being labeled as slow paced. I always get bored with those but this one was an easy, fast and entertaining read. It's also quite progressive for the time it was written, so props to Donna Leon for the inclusion of queer characters and the topics she discusses.
The main character is just a regular guy who doesn't take himself too serious and doesn't think the world revolves around him. It's nothing like a classic american crime novel which I really enjoyed. Just a fine little crime story.
