Now that I've added the latest Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery to my reading list, I've already heard from another enthusiastic Donna Leon fan! And my sister who regularly spends time in Italy really enjoys the books, too.
Donna Leon is an American ex-pat living in Venice who writes mysteries set in that exotic city. The mysteries usually involve a crime set against a background of grim social ills, but they are always a fascinating mix of travelogue, commentary on contemporary Italian issues, and Venetian family life - complete with luscious descriptions of Brunetti family dinners.
