Interpretation Supposing Books Uniform Justice (Commissario Brunetti #12)

A riveting, pitch-perfect murder mystery—the work of a truly masterful storyteller. Conjuring contemporary Venice in exquisite and alluring detail, this is widely hailed as the finest installment yet of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series. For over a decade, Donna Leon has topped European bestseller lists and captivated fans throughout the world with her series of mysteries featuring the shrewd, charismatic Commissario Guido Brunetti. Guiding us through contemporary Venice's dark undercurrents of personal politics, corruption, and intrigue, Donna Leon's is "crime writing of the highest order: powerful, relevant and too full of human failings" (The Guardian). This time, Commissario Brunetti faces an unsettling case that, because he is the father of a young son, hits him especially close to home. The body of a student has been found hanged in Venice's elite, highly cloistered military academy. The young man is the son of a doctor and former politician, a member of Parliament who had an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics. Dr. Moro is clearly devastated by his son's death, but while both he and his apparently estranged wife seem convinced that the boy's death could not have been suicide, neither appears eager to help in the investigation of the mysterious circumstances in which he died. Bolstered by the help the elegant and crafty Signorina Elettra, and the cooking and sympathetic ear of his wife, Paola, Commissario Brunetti sets off on an investigation that gets him caught up in the strange and stormy politics of his country's powerful elite. When Brunetti plunges into Dr. Moro's political career and the circumstances of the doctor's estrangement from his wife, he discovers unsettling details. How to explain the mysterious hunting accident in which Signora Moro was involved, and the fact that her marriage crumbled so soon after? As he investigates, Brunetti is faced with a wall of silence, because the military, who protects its own, and civilians, even at the cost of their lives, are unwilling to talk. Is this the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities, or is Brunetti facing something altogether darker? Uniform Justice, the 12th book about Guido Brunetti, is a riveting, pitch-perfect murder mystery—the work of a truly masterful storyteller. Conjuring contemporary Venice in exquisite and alluring detail, Donna Leon offers what has been widely hailed as the finest installment yet of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series.

Write-Up Containing Books Uniform Justice (Commissario Brunetti #12)

I've been quite happily plowing through Donna Leon's series featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti, enjoying his relationships with his family and his colleagues at the Questura, and especially enjoying all the descriptions of the food and wine consumed by the Brunetti family. But all of those pleasantries cannot completely disguise the fact that this is a very dark series.The title of this twelfth entry, Uniform Justice, could be read in different ways. The "uniform" might refer to the military

Anyone who buys this book seeking a standard whodunnit will be disappointed, as at least one reviewer has plainly been. How sad to miss the growing depth of Donna Leon's portrayal of Venice, corruption in the Italian way of life, and the effect it has on the people who inhabit it.Strangely, it seems to me that the crime element of Uniform Justice - an apparent suicide in a military academy - makes for a more interesting and plausible narrative than has been the case in some of the author's

Have had Donna Leon recommended to me time and time again, but it took an impending trip to Venice to compel me to pick one up. Ok, I'm hooked. And what makes me really happy is that there are so many more Commissario Brunetti books to read!

I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of Leon's books I've read to date. Her take on detective fiction is like none other's. Instead of giving you a tidy conclusion, she leaves you hanging, caught, like Commissario Guido Brunetti, in the labyrinthine, malfunctioning, Italian justice system. Yet, Brunetti stays true to his calling and delivers the answers to the crime that you, the reader, seek. Leon lets you feel less like a reader and more like a tourist on an expertly-guided tour through the

Commissario Brunetti investigates the apparent suicide of a young student at Venice's San Martino Military Academy. The dead boy, Ernesto Moro, is the son of a prominent doctor and ex-politician who was known for his integrity. Signor Moro is unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, and it is obvious that his son's classmates are also keeping secrets. Brunetti finds his attempts to penetrate the silence surrounding the case both puzzling and frustrating.A brilliant and sophisticated plot

Just really enjoying Brunetti. This book was more unsettling than the others as justice never really got served. Am now going to earth the TV show and see how they changed the book. Leon's take on the corruption and the military and the government is so interesting. As I am soon to be a tourist, I am also a little unnerved st how Venetian 's view tourists, especially Americans.

One of the cadets at a Venetian military academy is dead. Is it suicide, as some claim, or was he murdered? Brunetti aims to find out, despite obstacles presented by Patta and Scarpa. Ultimately he learns the truth, but will justice ever be served?
