Dressed for Death (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries)
Donna Leon?s Commissario Guido Brunetti series grows more popular in America with the publication of every new novel. In this installment, Brunetti?s hopes of a refreshing family holiday in the mountains are once again dashed when a gruesome discovery is made in Marghera?a body so badly beaten the face is completely unrecognizable. Brunetti searches Venice for someone who can identify the corpse, but he is met with a wall of silence. Then he receives a telephone call from a contact who promises some tantalizing information. And before the night is out, Brunetti is confronting yet another appalling, and apparently senseless, death. more
