I have read this series through this book 17. Brunetti is a good guy, loves his family and finds beauty everywhere. What I can’t understand is why he loves his job. He may be the only policeman I’ve ever read about who never gets a bad guy: He knows who the bad guys are but he never gets to bring one in. The bad guys in this series always get away with everything, usually because they are rich and/or politically connected, unless they are somehow killed by another character, which is rare. Brunetti’s boss is arrogant and interested only in appearances and personal advancement: I wonder how Patta even got his job. In fact the entire justice system in Venice must be corrupt or lazy to the extreme.
So, I can not recommend that you read this series if you need to see justice done because you will not find it here. But if you love Venice and food you will no doubt be satisfied. If you enjoy watching a man love his wife and children, you will be happy. If you take pleasure in getting to know a family of readers and art enthusiasts, you are in for a treat. But if you want to feel good after following a detective through painstaking investigation and “getting his man”, you will be left unhappy and likely ondering why Guido Brunetti bothers to go to work every day.

The Girl of His Dreams audiobook in series Commissario Brunetti Mysteries
I’ve been reading the books in order and this one will likely be my last. The “mysteries” are usually secondary to the characters but I’ve had enough of the constant tourist and America bashing. Is it really necessary to constantly berate and insult a country and to denigrate the tourists who most certainly provide income to a large portion of the population? Throw on top of it the endless political ‘evil’ that is embedded in the Italian system and it all makes for quite a depressing slog. This particular novel started with one ‘mystery’ about 2 religious men and then dropped it for the lecturing and education of the Rom/Gypsy element. The book was a mess IMO and I’m done. I get it. Ms. Leon hates Americans and hates tourists and loves to preach on every subject. I read for entertainment, not to be lectured to. This was not a book of my dreams for sure.

Audiobook The Girl of His Dreams by Donna Leonm
This book is smoothly written. It will delight Brunetti fans. There is a certain frustration that the realities of Venetian politics, while probably true, create too much open-ended justice and thereby diminish the power and effectiveness of the protagonist. It seems impossible for the hero to triumph. So we must share the frustrations of imperfect justice most of tge time. But do we read mysteries so that reality will be truly represented and the book leaves in the reader the same frustrations that the characters have to live with? I think not. I think we read this type of book for entertainment and we wish tge hero to triumph because we are not able to do so in real life. The hero needs to be clever enough to give us hope even if we are not that clever. We want someone somewhere to triumph. Perhaps Italy is the wrong place for that expectation.

Audio The Girl of His Dreams narrated by David Colacci
I loved this book at one level and that was the very vivid sense I had of being with the characters, especially Brunetti, and following him in his thoughts and actions throughout the book. It was a slow pace, but still pleasurable pace.
I thought the mysteries (there were two) was less effective. The priest issue that dominated the first part of the book was finally explained but there was no real “gotcha” to it as the character the priest resented was not “caught”. Still there were moral lessons to be learned via Brunetti’s initial prejudice, which I thought made up for the weakness.
Similarly, the Rom or Gypsy child that was murdered had an unsatisfactory ending. Yet it was realistic! True to life. And there were moral lessons throughout confronting Brunetti and Vianello and others. So there is great depth to the novel.

Whenever one of Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti books goes on sale, I immediately buy it. Other books, I usually read the professional reviews, and if Publishers’ Weekly gives one of them a starred review, I’ll consider it. But with Brunetti, I just push the “Buy” button, and I’ve never been disappointed.
The characters in these books are as real as anyone you’ll ever meet – for Brunetti, maybe more so, because as reader, you have access to his most private thoughts and feelings. You know how real Archie Goodwin and Nero Wolfe are (I’ve been half in love with Archie Goodwin for 60 years; I refuse to believe that he’s not flesh and blood, and not still in his early thirties)? Well, same goes for Brunetti, though for different reasons because he’s a different man than happy-go-lucky Archie. Luckily, I don’t have to choose because Brunetti is happily married to a spunky Venetian aristocrat who teaches English at the university in that watery city.
(I like the descriptions of the city and of the food that his wife cooks too.)
I suspect that Brunetti’s politics are a little different than mine, but he’s so broad-minded that I think we would get along very well. Wait a minute – I think I’m getting a little too involved in this fiction…
