About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Fifteen years ago the teenage granddaughter of the grand Contessa Lando-Continui was rescued at the last moment from drowning in the canals. But young Manuela's life was never the same again. Now aged thirty, she lives trapped in an eternal youth.

The Contessa, certain that this was no accident, implores Brunetti to find the culprit she believes ruined Manuela's life.

But once Brunetti starts to investigate, he finds a murky past and a dark story at its heart . . .

A who done it that glides you quietly through the canals of Venice. It has charm and quiet humour care of the redoubtable Brunnetti and signorina Elletra.
