Book Reviews of Death of Faith
Book Review: An outstanding mystery tale
Summary: 5 Stars
It's always interesting to travel with the Commissario on his cases, and pleasant to share fine Italian lunches with his family, his English professora wife and his two rebellious teenagers. Brunetti is the classics-lovin, uncorrupted anti-hero who struggles successfully with both the underworld and the legal powers that be, with the aid of his beautiful and thoughtful secretary, who's a whiz of a hacker. The description of place and people is so fine that one has the sense of being in Venessia. In her novels, Donna Leon has pulled no punches in advertising (in an entertaining way) the rottenness of elements of the ruling hierarchy in Italy, but this 'Brunnetti' is a special. Here, one is made aware of the fascist Catholic sect Opus Dei. This was interesting for me because I'd never heard of Opus Dei, and then read more about it on the web. I would rate "The Death of Faith" as one of the strongest of Leon's novels.
