Journal Entry 1 by Carole888 from Perth, Western Australia Australia on Thursday, February 05, 2009

(A donation to my shelf by a friend for release!! I will read this first as I can't seem to go past anything set in Venice..... sigh!)

From Amazon:
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.

About the Author
Donna Leon has lived and taught English literature in Switzerland, Iran, China, Italy and Saudi Arabia. She now lives in Venice. She is the Sunday Times' crime reviewer.

(I have noticed that there is a travel book on Italy called Brunetti's Venice!)

Addit Apr o8 - and yes, I've read it! A good holiday read.... nice writing style. I think the cover shows the dome of the church of Santa Maria della Salute .... which coencidently happens to be the scene for the month of June on my calender this year.... :)
