Drawing Conclusions Audiobook

" Excellent series with added plus for characters and geography. All Commisario Bruno Series take place in Venice, Italy. "

" An interesting read with all its references to places in Venice, having just visited there. Enjoyable. "

" I do like Donna Leon and her character Commissario Guido Brunetti. I wouldn't call her work "cozy mysteries", but they are calm... not suspenseful, but interesting. Quiet reads, set in Venice. Good bedtime reading. "

" I had to "draw conclusions" to figure out what all happened, but I think I figured it out. I like this series more with each one I read. This one was about nursing homes as well as battered women - always some important social issue. Also, and again, there were issues of prejudice, particularly prejudice toward Sicilians. "

" I enjoy the Commissario Brunetti mystery series by Donna Leon. She is an American ex-pat, living in Venice for over 20 years. It is fun to read about the Venice that she has come to know. "

" I like this series; it's grown on me over the years. This one is one of my favorites; good plot, some art links and the usual atmospheric Venetian setting made it a very enjoyable read. "

" Second Leon I've read, and I'm beginning to like Brunetti a lot. Venice sounds fascinating through his eyes. "

" It had a good beginning and middle with a bit of a flat ending. "

" I never want her books to end. "

" Not her best but still worth reading "

" I love Donna Leon's book. This was not her best book and seemed rather boring as though Leon was getting bored with her characters. Disappointing! "

" # 20 in the series - as always worth reading for the portraits of Venice - bit plodding - Brunetti is confronting or at least considering the large and small bendings and breakings of the law that are part of the every day fabric of life in Italy. "

" Not bad for a quick Saturday read. Set in Venice. "

" I should be fluent by now and be using Brunetti's Cookbook. Charming and interesting. "

" As always, enjoyed reading this book. Have read Donna Leon for many years, and particularly like her characters and how they interact with each other. "

" What's not to like about another Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery set in Venice? Donna Leon's latest about the introspective police commissioner doesn't disappoint. "

" More coherent than the last two in a series that is more about Venice than solving mysteries. Light and entertaining. "

" Great read. Love the Venice setting. "

" The latest Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery taking place in Venice. "

" Rather more underdeveloped than I've come to expect from Leon. Feels unfinished. "

" OK, I think I may have to add Leon to my authors list. Sigh. ;-) "

" Liked this better than Friends in High Places. Seemed more Venice and a better story....like the ending. "

" The ending was a little bit of a letdown if you are looking for a traditional mystery, but the characters and location are described beautifully. "

" A little disappointing. Not enough food and family, but as always--very thoughtful. "

" Not bad for a quick Saturday read. Set in Venice. "

" I'm a big Donna Leon fan. I love these mystery books. I think this was her most recent. I would have to say it is probably my least favorite. The plot seemed to wander a bit and there were times when my mind did as well. It just wasn't as compelling as the others. "

" Loved it almost as much as her other books "

" Much as I have grown to like Brunetti and his Venice, this was just so boring. Not really a mystery, just the appearance of a mysterious death. "

" This is the 20 instalment in the very popular Guido Brunetti mystery series. An older woman is found dead in an apartment of a suspected heart attack. Guido Brunetti continues to check into the murdered woman's background as he suspects there is more to this case. "

" Inoffensive and formulaic. One of the better Commissario Brunetti mysteries and who can complain about Venice as a backdrop? "

" I want to spend time in Venice. I love the way Donna Leon writes aboutthe city. "

" I was disappointed by this one. Normally I love the atmosphere and food of Venice that Donna Leon portrays in her books. This one didn't have it for me. The mystery was formulaic down to the red herring. "
