Narrative To Books The Anonymous Venetian (Commissario Brunetti #3)

Dressed to Kill, the 3rd book in Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti Series starts with a body found behind a slaughterhouse in Marghera. Despite the case falling under the Mestre police department, Brunetti is sent to investigate due to a shortage of detectives in that station. Brunetti is not pleased with the situation as he was due to start his leave and take his family to a vacation in the mountains.

At first, the body is thought to be of a male transvestite prostitute but when it’s identified as a married man and the director of the Bank of Verona, it seems that there is something more than just a prostituted murdered by a client.

Brunetti’s investigation uncovers a world of corruption, where powerful men are using male prostitutes as decoys in the scam involving illegal property rentals in Venice.

The intelligent and sensitive manner in which Brunetti deals with suspects is done so well.

I find the Brunetti family really interesting and fascinating. Their interaction is beautifully done and I particularly enjoy the chemistry between Guido and Paola….

“Once, walking with him, Paola had stopped and asked him what he was thinking about, and the fact that she was the only person in the world he would not be embarrassed to tell just what it was he had been thinking about at that moment convinced him, though a thousand things had already done so, that this was the woman he wanted to marry, had to marry, would marry.”

And finally……………….my favorite secretary/hacker is introduced!!!!

A clever and complex mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end.

Comment On Epithetical Books The Anonymous Venetian (Commissario Brunetti #3)

Yeah! He got his man this time! This was fun to read. I havent been reading them in order, so it was fun to see the advent of Elettra, the clever secretary to Patta. Brunetti is a favorite!

Donna Leon has developed a likable character in Comissario Guido Brunetti who is on the side of right and calmly and coolly pursues the bad guy. What I loved about this book and why I will read another in the series is Venice. I read this book while I was in Venice and it was fun! I thought the mystery at the core of the book was tame and plodding but I plan on trying another.

This was a bit slow at times and described the weather a lot.

What appears at first glance to be a murdered woman is found behind a slaughterhouse. Upon closer examination, however, the body in the red dress turns out to be that of a man, and the first officers on the scene immediately jump to the conclusion that he must be a transvestite prostitute. Commissario Brunetti, handed the case because none of the detectives actually assigned to the relevant precinct are available, takes that assumption with a grain of salt, and the further he looks into the

Not my favorite Donna Leon-- a bit more grizzly and sordid than some-- but really worth the read for the start of Chapter Twenty-Three, in which our hero, Commissario of Police Guido Brunetti, having a rare night home alone without his wife and children, cooks his supper and reads Tacitus' Annals of Imperial Rome... "The heat usually robbed Brunetti of all appetite, but that night he found himself really hungry... He stopped at Rialto on the way home, surprised to find some of the fruit and

A well done mystery with an appealing lead character, interesting Venice setting, and a compelling plot.
