About this product
Product Information
Donna Leon's latest New York Times bestseller "is one of her best" ( Booklist , starred review) Twenty years ago Venetian Commissario Guido Brunetti and his creator, Donna Leon, first introduced readers to the delights-and dangers-of Venice. Now they have millions of devoted fans. In Drawing Conclusions , a young woman arrives home and senses that all is not right in the apartment below. When she investigates, she finds her neighbor lying lifeless on the floor. The autopsy shows that the widow's death was due to a heart attack, but Brunetti is convinced that things are not as straightforward as they seem. With her signature combination of humanity, nuanced detail, and psychological insight, Leon's twentieth Brunetti mystery reaffirms her place in the pantheon of crime fiction.

There is always doubt mixed with anticipation before diving into the latest in a favorite mystery series. The uncertainty is always there -- will it deliver the same fascination as previous books? Or will it disappoint? … The compelling characters and complex plot in Leon''s Drawing Conclusions place it among her best. The atmosphere of the city, along with Leon''s sharp insights and powerful narrative, validate her often-recognized status as a master of literary crime fiction., Donna Leon's 20th Venetian mystery featuring her compassionate police detective, Commissario Guido Brunetti, epitomizes what we treasure most about this series: a feeling for the life of a sublimely beautiful city and a sensitivity to the forces that are reshaping it. Not to mention the pleasure of being in Brunetti's company when this shrewd but scrupulously honest man is having a crisis of ethics at the flower market or trying to pry information from a hostile nun., This fine novel is Leon's 20th mystery featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti, the unparalleled Venetian police investigator who enlivens this intelligent series. … As always, Brunetti's investigative acumen, his patience, and most of all, his profound comprehension of the human psyche enable him to bring the case to a closure of sorts. Yet the powerful conclusions does not, in fact, directly divulge the solution, and it is this haunting ambiguity that renders Drawing Conclusions Leon's most provocative novel to date. … VERDICT: Aficionados of literary mysteries such as those written by P.D. James and Michael Dibdin will revel in this stellar book. If you read only one mystery this year, make it this one., By now, with the arrival of Donna Leon's 20th Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery, the Venetian police commissioner seems almost as much an institution as the city's venerable buildings. … In an age of diminished civic and religious authority, the commissario-as his investigation proceeds-must make Jesuitical decisions of his own about guilt and innocence, punishment and absolution. In this finely written account, he comes down (as we know he will) on the side of the angels., By now, with the arrival of Donna Leon's 20th Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery, the Venetian police commissioner seems almost as much an institution as the city's venerable buildings. ...
