from the cover:

"On a beautiful spring morning on the island of Pellestrina, south of the Lido on the Venetian lagoon, a small fishing boat moored at the docks suddenly explodes. When it becomes clear that the fire was deliberately set and the boat's owners brutally murdered, Commissario Brunetti tries to dig up information from Pellestrina's close-knit - and closemouthed - citizenry. But it is with mixed feelings that he accepts Signorina Elettra's offer to visit her relatives there and search for clues. Though loyal to his beloved wife, Paola, he has to admit that less-than-platonic emotions underlie his concern for his boss's spirited secretary."

Moving out a bit this time, from Venice to Pellestrina. This is a simple story made difficult by a tight-knit community. Once again there's a ring of authenticity to this that I appreciate so much. I don't know how many books are in this series but I sincerely hope it's a long list.
