Donna Leon, I am sorry! I apologize for not reading any of your books until this year (2020). I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! Set in Venice, I love the plots and characters. Just another super job with Commissario Brunetti. This time he is on the trail of a murderer who has killed a man who is found in the field outside a slaughterhouse. What makes this different is that the man is wearing red womens shoes and a red dress. Was he a cross-dressing whore? Was he a closet gay man? What is the story behind this man, and who is he. Heck we do not even know that much for almost the first 100 pages. Just a really good plot and writing. We have quite a few deaths that derive from this initial murder and all of them seem to be connected to a Morality League, but yet there is no physical evidence of this. Here we are kept waiting until the very end for justice to prevail, or at least we hope it will! Filled with local Venetian landmarks, humor, and murder, we find Brunetti at his very best. Also a new character, Elettera who is the secretary for Vice-Questorre Patta (who himself has problems!!). Just a really good book. Thanks Donna, and again, I am sorry it took me so long to dive into Commissario Brunetti!

Audiobook Dressed for Death by Donna Leonm
I truly enjoy this series. I’m writing this review primarily to point out that some of her early books were published with different titles. If you are reading them in order as I am doing, you should visit fantasticfiction.com to match the titles, or else you may find yourself reading a story twice. It’s too bad neither Amazon descriptions or Goodreads make note of the different titles, although Goodreads does copy my rating of this book to both titles. This book was also published as The Anonymous Venetian.
I’ve become quite the fan of Commissario Guido Brunetti, his family and his coworkers, so much so that I’m working my through the entire Donna Leon series. She paints such a wonderful, realistic picture of Venice, Italy that, even though it exposes it’s underbelly, it still remains a place for me to see on my bucket list. Having previously seen several foreign-language movie version of Ms. Leon’s Brunetti books, it’s conveniently given me visual references on the characters and locale. The odd thing is that the tv movies were in German with English subtitles but the characters did look Italian enough to be believable. Go figure.
The earlier books are somewhat dated (Brunetti doesn’t have a cell phone) but charmingly so. Crime is still crime, however, so the anachronisms are not too distracting. I highly recommend this series, especially for police procedural fans.

Audio Dressed for Death narrated by David Colacci
I have read several of Donna Leon’s inspector Brunetti stories, and I find this one of her best. The city struggling under a heat wave, the family gone on holiday and inspector Brunetti tied up in an investigation… a difficult one. And then, when everything seems to end into a dead end street, a miracle happens. And another one. Brunetti is a very much alive character. Someone you just could meet in the street. Excellent book.

This book has numerous errors in punctuation, grammar, spelling and common usage. In particular, there are multiple quotations by different persons in the same paragraph. The author uses the word “he” in successive sentences (and even paragraphs) without indicating who is being referred to. Some characters are not identified (for example, Nadia and Judge Falcone). Some words are not in the dictionary. All in all, I recommend a thorough editing and proofreading. Finally, the plot rambled and it could have been more succinct. The two prior books are much better in all of these aspects.
I’m a fan of Brunetti (and Leon, obviously) and have probably read 10-12 of the books, but not in order. This one, I think, might be the apogee of her writing. Good plot but somehow just better written than various of her other books. You almost sweat with Brunetti as he makes his way around a humid, hot August Venice. Even Pata, his superior, seems human in this one (in others he’s a bit of a cardboard character). I thought it might be a later work, but the introduction of Senorita Electra says otherwise. A good read.
