Venetian cop Brunetti investigates the death of two fishermen, and finds a community closed against him, in Donna Leon's A Sea of Troubles.
Leon has written a long series of novels featuring this Italian policeman, but this is the first one I have come across. Having traveled in Italy several times, although never visiting Venice despite several near misses, I thought I would give it a try.
This is a very solid mystery, with interesting characterizations that I'm sure would be richer having read more of the series (this is her tenth Brunetti novel). I will definitely look for more of these.
This one I found at a Goodwill in Frankfort, Indiana, and read it quickly on vacation in Florida.
