Trace Elements by Donna Leon
2.0
I still enjoy dropping in on Guido, Paola, Chiara, Raffi, Vianello, Pata and Signorina Elettra Zorzi to see what is going on in their lives. Over the years though, I've grown tired of the constant complaining about tourists and the corruption in the Italian government, all of which we see through Leon's eyes.
I think Ms. Leon needs to re-visit a previous novel and do a sequel so that readers are able to see the outcome of a case investigated by Brunetti - maybe he needs to get more evidence to get a conviction. I'm getting weary of his philosophical struggles with the corruption of the system of which he is an integral part. Is he too young to retire and become a private investigator, or maybe practice law so we can see things from another perspective?
