Death at La Fenice by Donna Leon

4.0

I used to read a lot of detective stories but then spent many years not reading them. Well, I'm back baby! and my first mystery in probably 15 years was fantastic. Commissario Brunetti is a wonderful character. The books are set in Venice, which is a beautiful and mysterious place to begin with and add all of the flair of equally adoring and poking fun at italians and it's a winner. the story is easy and after the year i've had, I needed something to really escape into. I can't wait to read all of these books and I'm glad Ms Leon has written many.
