Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti series is a wonderful read! Brunetti is an upper level police detective in Venice, Italy. In addition to deep and finely developed characters, the stories weave in and out of the lagoon and canals of this ancient city, into Venetian palaces and campos, restaurants, and markets, churches and cultural sites. In Acqua Alta, Commissario Brunetti must solve an assault and a murder while sloshing through the rising water of storm and high tide flooding the city. I have never been to Venice, and each new book in this series is a canal ride to discovery of the very special character of Venice and the Venetian people. I find myself daily googling pictures of the sites featured in the stories, and looking up the Italian phrases and words sprinkled through the stories like fine Italian spices; I feel like I am part of the unique culture of Venice, moreso with every page I turn. I have read nothing else since I started this series, and it’s unlikely that I will until I have read the very last page of the very last book. The writing is excellent, and the stories equal the best detective stories written. My thanks to the author for a cultural experience embedded within terrific stories!

Acqua Alta audiobook in series Commissario Brunetti Mysteries
This one just drags. The culprit and his motives turn out to be an anticlimax. I dislike the few view changes from the protagonist, which I felt disruptive to the plot flow. And i really do not wish to read about the lesbian couple relationship. The protagonist’s seeming infatuation with one of the lesbians is also offputting. At the end a disappointment after the previous books. I hesitate to continue with the series
First, Donna Leon is an excellent writer and developed nteresting, appealing characters. Her plots, however, seem to become more disturbing with every book. I started out thinking she was a reformist, trying to give voices to the abused. I wonder now if she is herself trying to gradually drag people down. Topics she alluded to subtly in earliest books become more blatant with each book. I almost quit on book four (with the snuff videos) but thought I’d try one more. I can’t finish this book. I see no reason to punish myself with trying. I know these things happen and that knowledge sickens me. Reading mysteries and fiction is supposed to be entertaining. These books are not.

Audiobook Acqua Alta by Donna Leonm
When I visited Italy about 9 years ago, I was looking for a book to read on the trip back to the USA. Had trouble finding one in English. However, settled for what was a new author to me. Good story line, good characters. Brunetti is perfect. He works with what he has although it is an uphill battle with the crooked administration. Love the descriptions of Italy and I can visualize the cold wind and water and walking on the elevated sidewalks to get from place to place, hopefully with a cup of hot coffee waiting at the end of the trek. . Love the fact that we know he has a family, which seem to live their own lives but are there for one another when needed. The opera star Flavia is well depicted and she shows up later in another book. I actually learned quite a bit about Italy from this book and certainly appreciated it more since I had visited Venice. I am now reading her other Brunetti books and in the nine years since I read this one, she has written a number of them.

Audio Acqua Alta narrated by David Colacci
I did a lot of thinking, while reading this book. I thought a lot about the brutal period of crime that Italy was going through when this book was written.
The real Brunettis were rare. Concern about the mafia and their crimes were rampant. No one seemed able to do anything about it.
When an old American friend, who’s an art specialist of ancient ceramics is violently attacked in her home, Commissario Brunetti, a stickler for the law, doesn’t hesitate to help her, even though he knows the country is impaled by the rich, the powerful and the corrupt.

This book is the 6th Guido Brunetti Mystery I’ve read. I’ve loved Donna Leon’s previous books very much. However, I do wish “Acqua Alta” hadn’t been mentioned so many times in this mystery. I found Acqua Alta very verbose – more characterizations and less “talky” exposition about antiques would have kept the reader’s attention, in my opinion.. The two main characters of the opera singer and her lover really never came alive as real people. Guido, of course, is the detective anyone would want to handle a murder mystery. He is a man of exquisite literary taste, as well.
