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.

A Must Read!
This is a wonderfully written romantic mystery comedy. The female lead is Flora and she is fantastic. She is so well written that I found myself thinking she would make a great friend. This book is set in Italy and the descriptions of the palace just add an air of mystery to the book. I would definitely recommend this book!
I was given a copy of this book in return for my honest, unbiased review.

good effort..but unfortunately lacking
The story was a good effort, but read like a movie script.
The dialogue was simplistic, stilted, flat.
Unfortunately this was all made worse by a narrator who tried too hard. Many narrators seem to struggle with doing different voices, however this narrator seemed to struggle with the text reading as well.

Fun mystery story!
This was a fun mystery that revolved around art forgery as well as the relationship and professional decisions of the protagonist (so it has almost equal parts romance and mystery). The mystery evolved rather quickly, without many plot twists, but I think that is a characteristic of the series (which I didn't start from the beginning). The narrator did a good job of distinguishing between most of the characters, although I did get a little confused at one point between two female characters.
