Title: Dressed for Death
Review: Donna Leon's Commissario Guido Brunetti offers firsthand glimpses into the everyday life of the police of Venice's Questore. This story breaks just as Brunetti is scheduled to take his family to the mountains to escape the sweltering heat of August in the city. No such luck for Guido, who must stay and solve an unsavory murder in the Maghera, a particularly repellent industrial section of the municipality. But the fingers of fate soon slither across the channel to entangle some of the most elevated members of Venetian life. Once again Brunetti proves that there is no substitute for thorough, if mundane, investigative work to assure that justice prevails.
