About this listen

The murder of two clam fishermen off the island of Pellestrina, south of the Lido on the Venetian lagoon, draws Commissario Brunetti into the island's close-knit community, bound together by a code of loyalty and a suspicion of outsiders worthy of the Mafia.

When the Vice-Questore's secretary Signorina Elettra volunteers to visit the island, where she has relatives, Brunetti finds himself torn between his duty to solve the murders, concerns for Elettra's safety, and his not entirely straightforward feelings for her....

This is well-worth buying both for the story and the depiction of the Venetian lifestyle and the islands in the Laguna. The narration is also excellent.

Hugely enjoyable!

One of the best of the Brunetti series

The story is great but reading the main character with Italian accent is ridiculous they would have been speaking pure unaccented venetian or Italian and giving them accents imposes Anglo Saxon biases in them - quite spoilt listening

Bad narrator decision

Stopped audio with 5 minutes remaining. Very frustrating ...
I received a refund, then purchased a Kindle book to read the concluding pages.
