Yay it‘s Saturday morning! Time for coffee & the tagged book. #coffeeandboks
My second weekend in a row at HPB ended in a massive book haul… so here goes:
This author was recommended by my father-in-law, a huge reader. It‘s first in a series of mysteries set in Venice. Since my visit there last year, I think I‘ll enjoy reading about Venice. There are a lot of books in this series so I‘m hoping I like it!

pick#serieslove2024 back to this great series. Brunetti has to investigate a suicide at an elite military academy. The case is complicated by a lack of transparency, the parents are powerful people , politicians & military leaders. Brunetti is always thoughtful, his wife , family, food , wine , & Venice are always part of the story. Love this series, many to go , this is only book 12 of 30 plus !
pick#serieslove2024 #16 in Commissario Guido Brunetti mysteries.Another achievement of complexity!
Brunetti is called out of bed in the middle of the night to question a senior pediatrician who was attacked during a home invasion.His 18 month old son was snatched away.
What Brunetti uncovers is a story of infertility,desperation,& illegal dealings.Meanwhile his colleague, Vianello,is following a line of inquiry regarding pharmacies‘ irregularities.
pickThis book redeemed my last experience in the series.
I walked with Brunetti along Venice‘s cobbled streets & narrow alleys.We glided over canals & raced in water busses.We drank coffee & wine in its bars.A curmudgeon owner of a Murano glass making factory threatens the life of his environmentalist son-in-law because of his political stance.Then a night watchman in his factory dies under mysterious circumstances.Brunetti looks into both issues.
Up late last night watching UConn v Iowa game - nail biter- UConn lost, 69-71. They did a great job keeping Caitlin Clark from 3pt scoring, with only 8 players to depend on.
Consequently,late morning coffee & reading.Em is curled up on my lap, totally content.😻This is perfect to read right now-spring weather & flowers interspersed throughout.Our weather has been crazy-snow Thursday, cloudy,cold,windy the last few days.#serieslove2024 Hope for☀️
