I have been a fan of Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti series for many years, so it is a great pleasure for me to find one I haven’t already read. When the book happens to be a great one, I’m in reader’s heaven.
Drawing Conclusions is one of the best in the series. The story is simple yet riveting. There is no gore and only a hint of violence, but the nature of the death leads Brunetti to consider the various possibilities which may have made this death suspicious. The ending may leave some unsatisfied since there is no arrest or conviction, rather we are left with a sad acceptance of the long shadows cast by past mistakes.
There is just enough of the Guido and Paola quotidian tale to keep fans involved without it taking too much time away from the Commissario’s ruminations about the case. All in all, I was left totally satisfied as after a delicious meal, Venetian of course. One of Leon’s best, in my opinion.

Drawing Conclusions audiobook in series Commissario Brunetti Mysteries
So we have a criminal who goes to a new city, gets involved with a man, provokes a domestic violence scenario so she can be taken into a shelter home and rob the woman who has given her shelter. Sound plausible? And the woman who has started the program is not interested in individuals but “wants to save humanity” and is like a woman “who is interested in the moral improvement of her inferiors”. Better to be like our detective who is so caught up in the wonders of Venice and the food and wine he enjoys that he cannot be bothered with the true violence against women. When he cannot catch the wily criminal hw spends the next 150 pages finding out about a supposed thief by two people in their 80’s. I had to stop fearing I was so disgusted. I guess Venice has so little crime they can tolerate this.
This is my first experience with Leon’s “Guido Brunetti” character and I could not have enjoyed it more. I made myself wait a whole day before finishing
the book because I wanted it to last longer. This author is adept in flushing out characters, pacing scenario ( alternating action and thought) providing beautiful location guides through Venice, and articulates

Audiobook Drawing Conclusions by Donna Leonm
I am about to return to Venice and was ready to read The Golden Egg when I discovered that I had missed reading this installment of Donna Leon’s mysteries featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti. Because 79 reviews of Drawing Conclusions already have been posted, I’ll not include any description of the plot in this review. I’m in agreement with those reviewers who believe this novel is another demonstration of Leon’s great talents in both character and plot development. The continuing characters are not static; Leon continues to reveal more about them and to allow their relationships to grow. Like many other readers I consider them friends, and I value Leon’s excellent descriptions of new characters. (Even those briefly introduced seem like they could be the subject of short stories of their own that already exist someplace outside this book.)
Brunetti, his colleague Vianello, and Signorina Elletra, the civilian employee upon whose computer hacking they rely, follow the clues methodically as in the best police procedurals. However, their investigations are far from dry procedurals due the unusual geography of Venice and the need for novel approaches that evade the corrupt bureaucracy that includes their own superiors. Leon seems to treat the crimes in her novels less as interesting in themselves and more as vehicles to make other points about Venice, Italy, and human nature. Intersections of the investigations with Brunetti’s family life give both Brunetti and the reader perspective and reinforce Leon’s themes.
In this particular novel, Leon makes strong points about physical abuse of women as well as repeated references to the difficulties of coping with old age, yet she deals most broadly and powerfully with issues of honesty and justice. The reluctance to be frank and admit everything known is exhibited by a number of characters, and is discussed among themselves by the major characters. In fact, the title “drawing conclusions” seems to refer to the need to make deductions when all relevant information is not shared. On the other hand, several characters are dramatically straightforward, including the victim whose honesty is described as “her terrible honesty.” Brunetti seems to find honesty inconvenient but not terrible, as evidenced by his discomfort with misrepresenting himself and telling half-truths, as well as his growing discomfort with Signorina Elletra’s illegal methods and manipulation of people. He is not always honest with suspects, witnesses, or his boss (almost never with his boss); but Leon gives us an example to show that he is incorruptible. Whether people can change, especially whether they can become more honest, is a corollary issue pondered by Brunetti. I would guess that Leon agrees with her characters that justice is not always the same as following the law, but that she also wants her devoted readers to be uncomfortable with the extent to which the “good guys” in the Questura take the law into their own hands. The whole series is great if you want to follow a detective whose humanity is always in the foreground, and this book is one of the most interesting.

I had read one of early books, many years ago, and now reading some of the newer ones she continues to impress me with her evolving characters and detailed descriptions of Venice. Like another of my favorite detectives, Morse, Brunetti has a nuanced view of crime and the criminal mind, with a sense of justice that is complex and subtle, in an overall environment of bureaucratic corruption and malfeasance.
