“Guido Brunetti can ride in my gondola anytime. What a splendid detective.” (Susan Isaacs, author of After All These Years)

“Donna Leon has given fans of subtle, clever and literate mysteries something to cheer about...A wonderful read.” (Tony Hillerman)

“A challenging mystery, a sophisticated drama, and a unique glimpse of a medieval society that stilll flourishes.” (St Louis Post-Dispatch)
