A review by pennyriley
Doctored Evidence by Donna Leon

4.0

Another enjoyable entry in the Brunetti series. There’s a bit less family in this one and Brunetti has more to do with Scarpa, who has seemingly closed a case on very little evidence. As Brunetti works his way to the truth he clashes with Scarpa on more than one occasion. Elettra plays her usual role as hacker to the stars (detectives). I realise that her role is ironic in that she uses the same kinds of tactics as the criminals do, and Leon is pointing out the absurdity of the ‘justice’ system, but I do feel that it’s a weakness of the series that Brunetti would not be able to function without her.
