About this title

Review:

"In her detective novels with Commissario Brunetti, Donna Leon can paralyse the reader with a joyful suspense, lost in the environs of Venice and hopelessly in love with her central character and his wife" (Mail on Sunday)

"The marvel of this book is that almost every detail on every page forms part of a succession of clues, planted with exquisite precision, to unravelling the mystery" (Sunday Times)

"Goes a long way to confirming Donna Leon's claim to have taken literary possession of Venice ... A Noble Radiance gives the reader a delightful foretaste of the summer holidays to come, but it also offers much more than that" (Independent on Sunday)

Book Description:

The seventh installment in the award-winning Brunetti series by crime fiction writer Donna Leon, where the Venetian police Commissario must unearth the roots of a brutal murder.
