Negative Positive
Title: Thin plot but great characters
Review: I have read several of Ms Leon's Venice based mysteries. I have never visited Venice, but find her descriptions of life there to be very satisfying! Her Inspector Brunetti is also satisfyingly drawn with a typical family and interesting perspectives on Italian government and society.I am a big fan of David Hewson's Nic Costa mysteries which also based in Italy and several in Venice. Hewson's work is somewhat richer, but a little bizarre.Both provide in-depth perspectives on Italian life that I find fascinating.
