Dressed for Death Audiobook

" A little cold and impersonal. Fun read about Italian political machinations and corruption. "

" Having read books in the series before this one, and a few after, I really enjoyed this book. "

" Bank practices and transvestites in Venice. "

" Re-reading Brunettis first cases, now ten years old and more and enjoying them in German as much as I did in English. Great characterisation and lovely (sometimes smelly and crumbly of course because after all it is Venice) backdrops. "

" I have really enjoyed the other titles in this series. It seems that Donna Leon really hit her stride with this one, the third in the series. Not only is it a good mystery tale, but I also love the relationships and banter between Comissario Brunetti and his family. As in the other books of hers that I have read the city of Venice seems to become a vivid character in itself. Leon has real grasp on how to create a sense of place without overdoing the descriptors. I recommend this one highly. A solid story that treats heavy issues in a serious manner, but never loses it's sense of humour. "

" As I have said before, I love detective novels with "good guys". Not the angsty hard-boiled loners but regular guys who love their wives and children, still have ideals and morals and who do their best working even when working in less than ideal circumstances. "

" Creepy, but Brunetti again a complex, multi0faceted character. "

" This is my second try at getting into her books. They are police procedurals set in Venice. Another book where the worst criminal basically went unpunished, but here due to corruption "

" Held my interest up to the end. "

" Enjoyed this one again but the ending was rather rushed "

" I love this mystery series - I listen to it on CD and the reader is fabulous. The backdrop is Venice. Brunetti is an admirable, smart and kind. I must say, her endings are a bit surprising. "

" Great mystery series. Bonus is that is is set in Venice. Gives you some insight into Italian culture. "

" Not my favourite. I found it somewhat laboured, but that may have been me. "

" One of the better plots for Commissario Brunetti. "

" This is the first book in the series that I rated at 5 stars. Riveting suspense built up through an intricate and well developed plot. The author used a rather light hand with the filler and details unrelated to advancing the plot. "

" Gruesome but Detective Brunetti continues to charm. "

" Always well written and always the best family-relationship-dynamic scenes. Brunetti is my new favorite detective. "

" An easy read thriller with an interesting cast of characters. Would consider this a "beach read" type book. "

" Donna Leon is always an excellent read "

" Donna Leon's mystery series takes place in Venice. What better reason to read them? Realistic characters, great descriptions, good plot lines keep me coming back for more. "

" Loved this book and the Venice setting. I will read all other books in this series. "

" Gruesome but Detective Brunetti continues to charm. "

" Fui apresentada ao commissàrio Brunetti e família e vi-me transportada para o ambiente da Veneza dos nossos dias. Pormenores deliciosos do dia-a-dia misturam-se com a investigação policial para criar uma história que flui abafada com o calor do mês de Agosto. Um livro óptimo! "

" Loved the insiders look at Venice, but didn't really enjoy the characters or the story line as much as the previous Commissario Brunetti novels. "

" Having read books in the series before this one, and a few after, I really enjoyed this book. "

" I didn't like this book (the third in the series) as much as I liked the second one. It deals with some transvestite and gay residents of Venice, and I felt it was stilted and, while "politically correct," it felt awkward to me. "

" Part of a series about Venice. "

" Another good read about the Venice police. "

" ONe of the better books in the series. It is an early title, and a little grittier than the more recent books. This one is more about the crime and the detection, which is what I enjoy in detective stories. "
