“His clothing marked him as Italian. The cadence of his speech announced that he was Venetian. His eyes were all policeman.”

Donna Leon, Death at La Fenice
A. Sato
“Great plots, great setting (Venice!) and then there’s Brunetti, what’s not to like about him? He’s a wonderful detective and a great creation of Leon’s.”
