This is the first book by this author I have read and I believe I'll go find some more of her work as soon as I can. I really enjoyed following Brunetti as he pieced together the clues to solve this crime. While I was able to figure out part of the solution very quickly it took me a long time to fully come up with the motive. All in all Leon does a wonderful job--I think most mystery lovers will enjoy this book.

From the back:
Beautiful and serene Venice is a city almost devoid of crime. But that is little comfort to Maestro Helmut Wellauer, a world-renowned conductor whose intermission refreshment comes one night with a little something extra in it-cyanide. For Guido Brunetti, vice-commissario of police and detective genius, finding a suspect isn't a problem; narrowing the large and unconventional group of enemies down to one is.

RELEASE NOTES:

I will be leaving this at the glass studio around 9am. You should be able to find it among the lovely vases and bowls that fill the shop. Be sure to tell Terry hello....the folks here are wonderful glass artists and are Bookcrossing friendly!

Congratulations on catching this terrific book. I hope you enjoy it. When you finish this book, please pass journal again and share what you thought about the book. Then, please pass it along for somebody else to read. You could give it to a friend or leave it someplace, like a school, restaurant or wherever you think it might find a reader who'll love it! It would be great if you'd join. Then you could track where your books go. If you do want to join, I'd love it if you would use ALRESCATE- - that's me-- as the name of the person who referred you.

I received the book from my printing company. Someone had dropped the book off one day so it was past on to me.
