Name
Leon, Donna
Description
Donna Leon writes the Guido Brunetti mysteries, whose protagonist is a likable Venetian policeman. As Vice-Commissario of the Venice Police, he opposes the blatant corruption around him. Crimes often involve the Mafia and expose involvement at the highest levels of local or national government. Beneath his cynical air, Brunetti is a stalwart defender of justice who will circumvent rules and authorities that do not serve it. Secondary characters (his wife and children) add richness and humor. Complex suspenseful storylines are secondary to characterization, with Venice and its people providing a fascinating backdrop. Start with: Death at La Fenice
