The Jewels of Paradise by Donna Leon

3.0

A non-Commissario Brunetti book by Donna Leon, but still set in Venice. The author's love of the city is still evident in this book. The pace of the book is quite languid, as it follows a researcher who was hired to look into the newly-discovered papers of a baroque composer. I have no interest whatsoever in opera and musicology, but this book is still a good atmospheric read.
