My reading spot this afternoon at the Epicurean Hotel in Tampa. Beautiful hotel.
In Tampa Florida for a wedding, relaxing outside the hotel in a shaded area,reading.
#serieslove2023 Brunetti has a calm way of investigating the death of one of his wife‘s students. A young woman tries to seek a pardon for a relative who‘s past is tied to WWII & controversies over artwork sold by desperate people in dire circumstances. Brunetti finds himself asking his father in law about those dark days to help solve the case. Thoughtful police procedural series I am enjoying very much!
Brunetti‘s case in the 11th involves the death of a young woman who has ties to dark secrets about artwork and World War II. There are parts of this book that are so descriptive I could taste the cigarette smoke from a character. Brunetti‘s sense of humor and Leon‘s one-line zingers pop up to counterbalance the darker piece of history that unfolds. Great addition to the series!
Really good. Althoug... the solution is on last 20 pages... And kind of loosely tied to the main story. The fact that it's the w---- .... usually author gives some clues to who is the murderer but not this one. I'm gonna find more of her books. ❤
I‘m reading the Guido Brunetti series for a LibraryThing group read. I really enjoy Leon‘s insight into Italian culture and government. This one was particularly interesting as it dealt mainly with Nazi stolen art in WWII and slightly on the Italian resistance (something more for me to learn about.) There is a solid, fairly well-plotted mystery as well, although the wrong person is punished IMO. Recommended series 4.0⭐️ #2019
I‘m definitely enjoying spending the summer reading about people getting murdered in Italy 😂 this series is gripping and has just the right amount of gorgeous food and scenery to make it light as well. Can‘t put these down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
