Donna Leon, the author of
Beastly Things, has lived in Venice for thirty years. As Venice is the setting for her much-loved Guido Brunetti mystery series, Leon has tackled various social issues, from human trafficking through immigration policy with disgust for government corruption yet reveling in the physical beauty of the city on the sea. Her moody hero is moral and admirable, and totally Italian in his love of his wife's cooking! This latest in the series is, as usual, well-written and complex.ML
