Helpful Score: 3

Donna Leon's books are a wonderful way to armchair travel to Venice. While they are police mysteries, they are not as gory as the Cornwell or Slaughter series of books. The books in her collection do not need to be read in sequence. This one deals with a murder of one of the African illegal aliens who sell knockoff items to tourists there. It meanders into something different and larger. A fairly fast read but on where you learn a bit about Italy, food, politics and Italian feelings towards immigrants.
