I love these books revealing Commissario Brunetti as he quietly goes about his work of keeping Venice safe. In this one, he and his wife, Paola, must look at their mutual values and their differing ways of acting on those values. Sex tours to the Orient, tainted medicines, toxic families, and political machinations are all present and accounted for. We get to follow Brunetti as he walks the back alleys and rides the vaporetti (water buses) of this glamorous and sinking city.
