Book Reviews of Fatal Remedies
Book Review: Social Relevance
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the joys of reading Dona Leon's Venetian mysteries is the social relevance of her stories. It doesn't give away anything to say that in this novel she tackels the heinous practice of some travel agents - illegal in this country, I think - of packaging tours to Asian countries for the purpose of providing wealthy men with greatly underage prostitutes; part of the world wide abuse of children. The practice continues in much of the so called "first world."
Additionally, Leon provides another lovely tour of Venice and its surrounds and a glimpse into Italian culture in a way that tourists seldom see.
A great read!
Summary of Fatal Remedies
Donna Leon's multitude of fans around the world has grown with each new Commissario Brunetti novel, and now mystery lovers in the United States can enjoy another compelling episode. In Fatal Remedies, Brunetti's career is under threat when his professional and personal lives unexpectedly intersect. In the chill of the Venetian dawn, a sudden act of vandalism shatters the quiet of the deserted city, and Brunetti is shocked to find that the culprit waiting to be apprehended at the scene is a member of his own family. Meanwhile, he is also under pressure from his superiors to solve a daring robbery with connections to a suspicious accidental death. Could the two crimes be connected? And will Brunetti be able to prove his family's innocence before it's too late?General Books
