Donna Leon, who lived in Venice for thirty years, has long been a favorite author of mine. Her series features Commissario Brunetti, a detective with the Venetian police department. Not only is each of Donna Leon's mysteries intriguing, but we're given a glimpse into family life in Venice when we're introduced to his wife and two children. In Fatal Remedies, Guido Brunetti's wife, Paola, takes it upon herself to right the wrongs of a local travel agency with dire consequences. Venice is my favorite city and so I loved the descriptions of the quaint streets, flowing canals, shops and coffee houses. The series doesn't need to be read in order to enjoy each book.1.
