Along with all the wonderful historical info and daily activity notes lost with my travel journal was a record of my vacation reading...but will do my best to reconstruct at least some of them. This book was found in the hand-me-down library at the last place we stayed on Crete and it turned out to be quite a treat. Apparently the 4th installment of a series by Donna Leon about police Commissario Guido Brunetti, it was originally published under the title
Death and Judgement. The basic plot line involves investigating the murders of several highly prominent businessmen, who turn out to have a decidedly dark side to their business dealings--trafficking in prostitutes and worse. The story line is intriguing, the characterization of the protagonist and his family are engaging and the description of the city (Venice) is yummy snacking for armchair travellers.
