Donna Leon, Trace Elements.








- Deliciously domestic as usual. Lovely.

- It’s very hot in Venice and for some strange reason Brunetti’s apartment is not air conditioned. The man is suffering. His way of relaxing is coffee and reading classical Greek literature.

- Immerses the reader in Italian life - the food, cafes, buildings, facades, canals of Venice.

- Also the language. I didn’t know that Venice had its own dialect.

- Not Leon’s best by a long shot. For fans only.
