Book Review of Acqua Alta (Guido Brunetti, Bk 5)

Acqua Alta (Guido Brunetti, Bk 5)
reviewed on


This is a well crafted mystery loaded with interesting information about Italy and particularly Venice. Dona Leon is a mystery writer who keeps you turning the pages. Rather than filling the narrative with vivid details of the blood and guts of violet crime, you will instead be privy to the unfolding details of detective work, rich with the inner musings of Guido Brunetti as he comments on everything from ecology, and social commentary to psychological processes.
