Ilustration During Books A Noble Radiance (Commissario Brunetti #7)
Donna Leon has topped European bestseller lists for more than a decade with a series of mysteries featuring clever Commissario Guido Brunetti. Always ready to bend the rules to uncover the threads of a crime, Brunetti manages to maintain his integrity while maneuvering through a city rife with politics, corruption, and intrigue. In A Noble Radiance a new landowner is summoned urgently to his house not far from Venice when workmen accidentally unearth a macabre grave. The human corpse is badly decomposed, but a ring found nearby proves to be a first clue that reopens an infamous case of kidnapping involving one of Venice's most aristocratic families. Only Commissario Brunetti can unravel the clues and find his way into both the heart of patrician Venice and that of a family grieving for their abducted son.Specify Books Toward A Noble Radiance (Commissario Brunetti #7)

I enjoyed this, as I always do with the Donna Leon Brunetti series, because of the Venice setting and wonderfully conjured environment of the city and its surroundings, which is reason enough to read these books. The detective hero and his family are plausible and likeable too.However, the 'who done it' mystery element after reading a few of these novels, overplays the interest in the 'what the person was like' approach to the investigation, which is the characteristic style of Brunetti, whichI can't believe I have come so late to Brunetti. I am going to Venice in Sept. and decided to read and listen to them. I also found a TV show (German with English subtitles, filmed mostly in Venice) so I am not reading in order but as I can get them. (Tomorrow I will watch this show) I love the philosophical discussions, the home life, the meetings with his boss, the humor and most of all Venice!! The mysteries are secondary, but learning how Italians look upon different parts of the country is
Thank you Donna Leon for writing this brilliant series. Commisario Brunetti, his colleagues and family have become almost like friends after all these years. And Venice also is a main character in these books.A badly decomposed body of a young man has been found in a shallow grave by a farmer ploughing up a field. Brunetti thinks it may be connected to a kidnapping a couple of years earlier of the son and heir of Count Lorenzoni, a member of the Venetian aristocracy. As usual Patta Brunetti's
A Noble Radiance, the 7th novel and an interesting addition to Donna Leons amazing and thought provoking Guido Brunetti Series. Guido Brunetti, the intelligent and intellectual Venetian Commissario is called in to investigate the findings of a decomposed male body found in a shallow grave by workmen in a home just outside Venice. The body is identified as Roberto Lorenzoni, the son of Count Lorenzoni, a member of the Venetian aristocratic society, who had been abducted two years earlier and had
I have been enjoying this series of books about Commissario Guido Brunetti, a policer officer and detective who lives and works in Venice. I particularly enjoyed this book for its several facets: the mystery surrounding the remains of the kidnapped son of a Venetian Count; Brunetti's musings on his own father-in-law's assertion that Paola (Brunetti's wife) is unhappy in her marriage; the process by which Brunetti puzzles out the answers to the murder; and as always, Brunetti's philosophical

To begin with, I have to confess that I love Venice. So any story that takes place there is likely to please me. Also, I love a good whodunit. Nothing's better for curling up with and relaxing. Still, Donna Leon's stories have something special. Maybe it's her detective, Commissario Brunetti. He's an extremely wise and cool person. A murder mystery's effectiveness depends on the personality of the detective, and Brunetti is extremely simpatico. Maybe it's the way her
