William Heinemann 2013, paperback, 276 pages.

I got again two Donna Leon paperbacks in English from a friend for Bookcrossing purposes. I don’t read in English so I’m going to release these two right away. It would be nice if this book had a couple of controlled releases before being released into the wild. (But this is just a wish, not a strict rule.)

Takakansi/synopsis:

"While making routine inquiries into a possible bribery case, Commissario Brunetti receives a call from his wife, Paola. The deaf-mute man who worked at the Brunettis' dry cleaners has been found dead, An empty bottle of pills points to suicide, but Paola is unconvinced. To the neighbourhood he was the 'boy' who helped out, but nobody knew much about him - not even his name. That a soul could have lived such a joyless and lonely life is too much for Paola to bear, and she begs her husband to do something, anything.

It is a surprise to Brunetti just how little was known about this man-child. His mother is angry and contradictory when questioned about his death, and Brunetti can find no official records to prove he even existed. With the help of Ispettore Vianello and the ever-resourceful Signorina Elettra, the Commissario sets out to discover the truth in what rapidly becomes a dark and troubling case."

In Finnish:
Sain eräältä ystävältä jälleen kaksi Donna Leonin kirjaa englanniksi bookcrossingia varten. En itse lue englanniksi kuin korkeintaan nuorten kirjoja, joten nämä vapautuvat saman tien. Toivoisin, että kirja voisi kiertää ainakin muutamalla lukijalla kontrolloidusti ennen villiä vapautusta (mutta tämä on siis toive, ei vaatimus).

Thank you very much, Lii5a! It is a pity you don't read books in English. But you can read books in other cool languages instead.
I'll read these as soon as my Italian course is over.

Chania is interested in this one.

Oh, how I enjoyed my visit to Venice with this book! I remember many of the places in the book.
The corruption is not nice to read about, but it is real. Our Italian teacher sometimes tells us about it.
It is nice that I found a new reader for this book as well for the other one, too. I'll read that next.
