Death and Judgment by Donna Leon

(read aloud)

Brunetti loves Venice; he in a sense is Venice. But the corruption, the bureaucracy, the slow decay, all trouble him. This episode deals with trafficking and is disturbing and raw. Brunetti, usually calm, is so upset by these criminals that he reveals both anger and sorrow. We saw of the video of this book, which was quite different but disturbing as well. I look forward to more Donna Leon.
