A Refiner's Fire
by Donna Leon
A REFINER'S FIRE is the newest addition to the Commissario Brunetti mystery series, written by Donna Leon. Two gangs of boys are taken into custody in Piazza San Marco. Commissario Claudia Griffoni tells Guido Brunetti she is thankful that the 22 testosterone-laden boys did not grow violent during the encounter. Griffoni befriends one of the boys, and the mystery begins. I read on to see what happens.
It's a pleasure to return to Guido Brunetti's Venice and read about him, his co-workers, his wife, and his children. Each book in the series may deal with a different mystery, but the basic cast of wonderful characters remains the same. There are times while reading Donna Leon's books when I have to stop and think about life. Since her writing is so skillful, I easily return to the story. I appreciate the powerful ending of this novel. I look forward to reading future books in the series. Thank you, Grove Atlantic and NetGalley, for giving me the chance to read and review an advance reader copy of A REFINER'S FIRE.
