Review "Donna Leon's deft and descriptive words do for Venice what Canaletto did for this serenest of cities with his brushes and paint palette and bring it to life in all its reach and colourful gaiety...[An] intriguing tense thriller. The ending is to die for." Daily Express "This is Leon at her best ... Her writing is as ever subtle and elliptical and conversations and people always have multiple layers which often only reveal themselves on second reading ... This is a compelling read and kept me up long past my usual bed time as I just had to finish it to find out what happened. The nail biting finale was well worth staying up for." JillySheep "The star of the story is Venice itself and Donna Leon, who has lived there for thirty years, brings the city to life ... I read the book in two sittings ... glued to the page as the tension ramped up - and everything came to a very satisfying finale." The Book Bag "The author provides us once again with an entertaining mystery and an opportunity to catch up with the estimable Guido Brunetti. Leon never disappoints." Crimesquad "As always, a gentle and intriguing look at life in Venice, the vagaries of the police force, and a sharp and clever investigation from Brunetti mixed in a delightful way, is at the heart of this novel. Another enjoyable outing for this complex, intelligent detective." Eurocrime

You are not going to be able to figure this one out, so just let the (mostly) congenial gang at the Questura (police department) handle the investigation and enjoy the gondola ride through Venice.If you're a regular reader of Donna Leon, you'll enjoy the banter between Guido and his wife, Paola, and between Guido and his colleagues. If you are new to these mysteries, you will no doubt find the pace slow and the mystery so subtle as to be nearly nonexistent. The pace is something that comes with the territory, which is of course, Venice, nicknamed La Serenissima, The Serene One. No car chases here.The drama in Falling in Love is provided by the opera Tosca, which features the center of our attention, Flavia Petrelli, a diva that Guido met in the very first mystery in the series, Death at La Fenice. Back for another encore (she appeared in at least one additional book), Flavia is feeling stalked by an anonymous fan who is leaving her too many flowers and giving her ostentatious gifts. Guido isn't too concerned until another singer that Flavia has recently met is assaulted and left for dead.The action picks up in the second act and as the music reaches a crescendo, there's a dramatic confrontation that threatens to mimic the opera's tragic ending. Meanwhile, back at the Questura, the usually hyper-efficient Signorina Elettra makes a wrong move in her computer hacking and may have jeopardized her own career as well as Guido's and several others.So, plenty of atmosphere, banter, Venetian delicacies, opera, and yes, even a mystery thrown in for good measure.(Thanks to NetGalley and Grove Atlantic for a digital review copy.)

Not FALLING IN LOVE quite as much as I hoped By Corgi Lover I have been on a Donna Leon binge the past nine months and read all of her Guido Brunetti novels and been dazzled by the insights, the psychological detail, the complexity of characters and their actions and the native's view of Venice. FALLING IN LOVE is the first time I've been disappointed. The villain of this particular novel is not given the intelligence and creativity to pull off the things that are pulled off. In fact the villain is rather a dullard who doesn't understand things said or done to the villain. Anyway, I'm grateful to Ms. Leon for Detective Brunetti, his family and his co-workers and the rich world she made for them to inhabit.A pet peeve: In ALL of the novels at the beginning there is a quote from a libretto of a famous opera. Ms. Leon always credits the composer but never the actual librettist who wrote the words. A sad thing for a writer to do.

Wonderful Addition By Toni Osborne Book 24, in the Commissario Guido Brunetti MysteryThe mystery brings back Italian Soprano Flavia Petrelli to Venice to sing the lead role in Tosca. Fans of this series will remember we first met her in “Death at La Fenice”, and later when she reappeared in “Acqua Alta”. In this latest our Diva gets overwhelmed by the worship of an obsessive fan that trails her everywhere and inundates her with yellow roses and expensive gifts. Flavia gets very concerns for her safety when people around her are found injured and asks Guido Brunetti, a long-time friend, to get to the bottom of this mystery.I am a huge follower of this author so I knew “Falling in Love” would have a slow pace and be a crafty mystery without car chases or gruesome murders. It would also titillate us with a leisurely ride along the Venice canal with many descriptions of this seductive city great lagoons and luscious taste and smell. Ms. Leon has always made room in her books to make us savour all of the city’s charms and delicacies. A mystery would be boring without a good theme and some suspense, Ms. Leon has fictionalized events she read in the news or experienced in life and has sprung fascinating stories where the truth gets distorted for our enjoyment. Of course Guido with all his ingenuity and assisted by colleagues at their best track down the suspect and the culprit is found and all ends well.Once again this latest is a great read and a wonderful addition to a terrific series.My thanks to NetGalley and to Grove Atlantic for the opportunity to read this book
