Commission Brunetti is on the trail of a book thief. What I like about the book is sitting with a translator, and looking up the Italian words  to enhance my understanding. I also like the insight into definition culture specifically and Italian culture in general; wine at lunch, a time with family, in the middle of the day, their outlook on life.
