Relation Concering Books Uniform Justice (Commissario Brunetti #12)

A riveting, pitch-perfect murder mystery—the work of a truly masterful storyteller. Conjuring contemporary Venice in exquisite and alluring detail, this is widely hailed as the finest installment yet of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series. For over a decade, Donna Leon has topped European bestseller lists and captivated fans throughout the world with her series of mysteries featuring the shrewd, charismatic Commissario Guido Brunetti. Guiding us through contemporary Venice's dark undercurrents of personal politics, corruption, and intrigue, Donna Leon's is "crime writing of the highest order: powerful, relevant and too full of human failings" (The Guardian). This time, Commissario Brunetti faces an unsettling case that, because he is the father of a young son, hits him especially close to home. The body of a student has been found hanged in Venice's elite, highly cloistered military academy. The young man is the son of a doctor and former politician, a member of Parliament who had an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics. Dr. Moro is clearly devastated by his son's death, but while both he and his apparently estranged wife seem convinced that the boy's death could not have been suicide, neither appears eager to help in the investigation of the mysterious circumstances in which he died. Bolstered by the help the elegant and crafty Signorina Elettra, and the cooking and sympathetic ear of his wife, Paola, Commissario Brunetti sets off on an investigation that gets him caught up in the strange and stormy politics of his country's powerful elite. When Brunetti plunges into Dr. Moro's political career and the circumstances of the doctor's estrangement from his wife, he discovers unsettling details. How to explain the mysterious hunting accident in which Signora Moro was involved, and the fact that her marriage crumbled so soon after? As he investigates, Brunetti is faced with a wall of silence, because the military, who protects its own, and civilians, even at the cost of their lives, are unwilling to talk. Is this the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities, or is Brunetti facing something altogether darker? Uniform Justice, the 12th book about Guido Brunetti, is a riveting, pitch-perfect murder mystery—the work of a truly masterful storyteller. Conjuring contemporary Venice in exquisite and alluring detail, Donna Leon offers what has been widely hailed as the finest installment yet of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series.

Piece Epithetical Books Uniform Justice (Commissario Brunetti #12)

This is the first book by this author I have read and to be completely honest.I did not finish itI stopped at page 164, just about half way through the book.It was just that bad.



The plot in this book is basically nonexistent and is an excuse for Donna Leon to have Many Opinions on the Military, as well as the inefficiencies of Italian government. This might not work for you if you, you know, care about plot, but luckily for everyone, I would read Brunetti's diary and be perfectly happy with it.Highlights of this installment:- Brunetti struggling with "unfamiliar" Euro coins as he gets on the traghetto. The Brunettiverse has transitioned off of lire, y'all!- Comparisons

I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of Leon's books I've read to date. Her take on detective fiction is like none other's. Instead of giving you a tidy conclusion, she leaves you hanging, caught, like Commissario Guido Brunetti, in the labyrinthine, malfunctioning, Italian justice system. Yet, Brunetti stays true to his calling and delivers the answers to the crime that you, the reader, seek. Leon lets you feel less like a reader and more like a tourist on an expertly-guided tour through the

I have enjoyed earlier books in this series, but this one and particularly the ending left me feeling there was unfinished business.There is a lot of political rambling in this book and in the end I skipped over some of these paragraphs just to find out where the plot was going.

This was my first Commissario Brunetti novel probably my last, as well. Perhaps I shouldnt have started the series here, but I struggled to read all of the way to the purposely unsatisfactory conclusion. The plot moves slow; the characters slower. On untold occasions, Leon tells us the Brunetti or another character fails to responds to a query or remains silent for long, long moments before speaking. Everyone walks slow. People eat slow. No wonder Brunetti get a thrill from a short ride on a

The saddest ending and the most ironic title.Re-reading in the age of Trump:"He turned and looked across the still waters at the disorderly domes of San Marco and the piebald walls of Palazzo Ducale, and thought of the peace their beauty brought him. How strange it was: nothing more than the arrangement of lines and colours, and he felt better than he had before he looked at them.""A remark Anna Comnena had made about Robert Guiscard: 'Once a man has seized power, his love of money displays
