Story4.5 out of 5 stars 652
During intermission at the famed La Fenice opera house in Venice, Italy, a notoriously difficult and widely disliked German conductor is poisoned—and suspects abound. Guido Brunetti, a native Venetian, sets out to unravel the mystery behind the high-profile murder. To do so, he calls on his knowledge of Venice, its culture, and its dirty politics. Along the way, he finds the crime may have roots going back decades—and that revenge, corruption, and even Italian cuisine may play a role.

Ponderous
Reviewed: 08-23-24
An interesting story with backstage scenes at the opera. But the writing is ponderous and needs editing. This probably contributes to the poor performance.
