A review by cheryl6of8
Death and Judgment by Donna Leon

3.0

I love spending time with Guido Brunetti and crew, but it is often not a positive ride. I am beginning to worry that the corruption rampant in Venice and Italian government is actually becoming more and more evident here in the US. As a government bureaucrat, I find that discouraging. Hopefully, like Brunetti, I will be able to continue to fight the good fight. In this book, the fight is particularly good given the crimes that are rampant in it, including sex trafficking and murder among the high and mighty. Signorina Elettra, as always, is a gem, and the discussion of food made me hungry. I will definitely have to visit Venice for more than just a tourist day trip -- I hear that there are walking tours based on this series, which would be good, because Venice is a character all its own in these books and I want to know her better.
