A Question of Belief by Donna Leon
When Ispettero Vianello came into his office, Brunetti had all but exhausted the powers of will that kept him at his desk.…”
Thus begins Donna Leon‘s novel A Question of Belief, which finds Commissario Guido Brunetti wilting at his desk in the sweltering Venetian heatwave. He’s quickly distracted by the mystery of Ispettero Vianello’s aunt, who is, it seems, being conned out of large sums of money by a man dealing in horoscopes. This and the murder of Araldo Fontano are enough to keep him busy.
As usual Leon’s effortlessly elegant style weaves its magic and the magic of Venice is brought alive under her pen.
