Descriptions of Heat and Humidity So Vivid You'll Feel Yourself in the Story • • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten) "Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?" -- Proverbs 6:27-28 (NKJV) I love this book! If you liked any books in the Commissario Guido Brunetti series, you must be sure to read A Question of Belief. The descriptions of what it is like to be in Venice during the dog days of summer while you dodge tourists and pigeons couldn't be finer. The book also contains two intriguing mysteries that will easily hold your attention to the end. In addition, Ms. Leon does a superb job of developing the relationships among the characters in ways that will draw you more deeply into the story. As the book jacket indicates, Brunetti is drawn into two eyebrow-raising situations by others. One is a reliable member of the local Venetian bureaucracy and the other is Brunetti's colleague, Ispettore Vianello. Such men cannot be ignored. In addition, other events intervene to force Brunetti's hand . . . just as he's about to enjoy his dreams of sleeping comfortably in the cold, crisp air of the Alps. At first blush, both situations seem to be simple to understand, but difficult to change. Alas, that's like believing that one of those mirrors that makes everyone seem tall and thin is the truth. Before the book ends, Brunetti has a murder mystery to drag him all over Venice in mid-day. You'll sweat along with him while he tracks down the truth. Even if it reminds you of summer weather, read the book on a pleasant day and you'll find the descriptions to be fun to contemplate. Also, you'll remember to take care when you visit Venice. I can well remember continually seeking air conditioning during one August there. Here's a tip: The Peggy Guggenheim Gallery in her former home on the Grand Canal is nice and cool. You have to keep art cool. It's good for the people, too. Enjoy!
