Death in a Strange Country by Donna Leon

4.0

All the crap about Americans eventually settles down to background noise and then some Green politics (like, he literally reads a pamphlet from the Green party) rushes into to fill the vacuum... and I loved that. The particular kind of environmental crime Brunetti is investigating is unfortunately still very much a current affair... it rolls along to a very satisfying ending that leaves us feeling that some kind of justice was done, even if it's all still very unjust. Leon leaves the question of whether we should despair or not wide open.
