Brunetti’s partner Vianello’s aunt is withdrawing large sums of money from her bank; an acquaintance from the Commune comes with evidence of disturbing delays in court cases. The Brunettis plan to escape Venice for an August vacation in the Alps as this is Europe’s very hot summer. Paola is making her reading choices! Then, there is a good man’s murder… As always Brunetti, Vianello, the remarkable Signorina Elettra and the familiar cast of colleagues—the good and not so good—in the Questura are back at solving crimes, whether or not there is ever evidence or political will to bring about justice. This series of detective fiction just never fails to satisfy and this one makes you think a little about the things people do for love.
