Interpretation As Books Uniform Justice (Commissario Brunetti #12)

A riveting, pitch-perfect murder mystery—the work of a truly masterful storyteller. Conjuring contemporary Venice in exquisite and alluring detail, this is widely hailed as the finest installment yet of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series.

For over a decade, Donna Leon has topped European bestseller lists and captivated fans throughout the world with her series of mysteries featuring the shrewd, charismatic Commissario Guido Brunetti. Guiding us through contemporary Venice's dark undercurrents of personal politics, corruption, and intrigue, Donna Leon's is "crime writing of the highest order: powerful, relevant and too full of human failings" (The Guardian).

This time, Commissario Brunetti faces an unsettling case that, because he is the father of a young son, hits him especially close to home. The body of a student has been found hanged in Venice's elite, highly cloistered military academy. The young man is the son of a doctor and former politician, a member of Parliament who had an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics. Dr. Moro is clearly devastated by his son's death, but while both he and his apparently estranged wife seem convinced that the boy's death could not have been suicide, neither appears eager to help in the investigation of the mysterious circumstances in which he died. Bolstered by the help the elegant and crafty Signorina Elettra, and the cooking and sympathetic ear of his wife, Paola, Commissario Brunetti sets off on an investigation that gets him caught up in the strange and stormy politics of his country's powerful elite.

When Brunetti plunges into Dr. Moro's political career and the circumstances of the doctor's estrangement from his wife, he discovers unsettling details. How to explain the mysterious hunting accident in which Signora Moro was involved, and the fact that her marriage crumbled so soon after? As he investigates, Brunetti is faced with a wall of silence, because the military, who protects its own, and civilians, even at the cost of their lives, are unwilling to talk. Is this the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities, or is Brunetti facing something altogether darker?

Uniform Justice, the 12th book about Guido Brunetti, is a riveting, pitch-perfect murder mystery—the work of a truly masterful storyteller. Conjuring contemporary Venice in exquisite and alluring detail, Donna Leon offers what has been widely hailed as the finest installment yet of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series.

Notice Of Books Uniform Justice (Commissario Brunetti #12)

Another good book in a long series of murder mysteries set in Venice. Plots are plausible and writing is entertaining. Enjoy the interactions of Brunetti and his cohorts especially his helpful secretary who always comes up with crucial information

Donna Leon consistently delivers novels with substance and depth. As other reviewers have indicated, as readers experience several of her books the city of Venice becomes less of a background for the stories and more of a character.It is clearly the seductive villain in her novels. In many ways they are not so much mysteries, but psychological dramas exploring the complex, multi-layered culture of Venice.Uniform Justice was darker and less optimistic than some of her other stories. It wasn't

One of the cadets at a Venetian military academy is dead. Is it suicide, as some claim, or was he murdered? Brunetti aims to find out, despite obstacles presented by Patta and Scarpa. Ultimately he learns the truth, but will justice ever be served?

Brunetti investigates the apparent suicide of a young cadet at Venice's elite military academy. He suspects murder because the boy's father was a man of integrity who attempted to shine light on the corrupt practices of government, until he resigned after his wife was shot in a so-called hunting accident.I have enjoyed this series for the glimpses into Venetian life and the character of Brunetti, as well as that of the secretary Signorina Elettra. What was disturbing was how the author candidly

Just really enjoying Brunetti. This book was more unsettling than the others as justice never really got served. Am now going to earth the TV show and see how they changed the book. Leon's take on the corruption and the military and the government is so interesting. As I am soon to be a tourist, I am also a little unnerved st how Venetian 's view tourists, especially Americans.

"Uniform Justice" is my first Donna Leon/Commissario Brunetti book. I listened to the audio version read by David Colacci. Collaci's reading is excellent, distinguishing between characters with a good variety of voices and intonation. I will probably read/listen to a few more Brunetti stories. My reservations that caused me to give the book 3 stars concern the ending, The setting of Venice is fascinating, showing a side of the city not normally seen by tourists. The suspicious death of a cadet

While many books can take you on adventures in new places, give you new ideas to contemplate, and introduce you to new and complex characters, there is comfort in curling up to drop in on old friends. I love a good mystery (OK, even some not-so-good ones) and a good mystery series is even better. I will not bore everyone by carrying on about every book in a series, but I will occasionally highlight the one Ive most recently read, hoping it will inspire someone else to check it out! I just
