Just goes to show how corrupt Italy is and how difficult it would be to police.

I have read a couple in this series, and have found them pretty average. A better italian detective series is The Montalbano series

Okay, I’m not one to read mystery thrillers but I’m really happy I read this because this was really good.
I loved the writing, every literary device needed was there at the right place and time and how Donna describes the setting and characters is seriously great.
I found that the mystery itself was easy to go along with, sometimes you get kinda lost when it comes to this genre but this was very straight forward (in the best of ways).
But then again I don’t usually read these genres so who am I to know if this is truly good or not? I just dearly enjoyed reading it!

Un nuevo caso del Commissario Brunetti que se inicia cuando las leyes de Venecia ponen en peligro su propio apartamento. Una nueva ocasión para criticar la corrupción, la usura, el poder de desinformación y engaño de la prensa y a aquellos que escapan a la ley por ser personas influyentes, por tener amigos en las altas esferas. Me habría gustado un final algo más cerrado.
