![]() No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() Malas artes Donna Leon Publicado: 2002 | 228 páginas Novela Policial Serie: Comisario Brunetti #11 /sjMayKwOo_G4 Una estudiante acude al comisario Brunetti para pedirle consejo: ¿hay alguna forma legal de limpiar el buen nombre de su familia, mancillado por un crimen que cometió muchos años atrás su ya fallecido abuelo? Impresionado por su belleza e inteligencia, pero incapaz de ayudarla, Brunetti casi olvida el asunto hasta que la joven aparece asesinada en su apartamento. La investigación de este crimen transporta al infatigable comisario a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando los judíos italianos fueron sistemáticamente despojados de sus obras de arte por parte de los nazis y sus colaboradores. A medida que Brunetti va desenterrando secretos de colaboracionismo, crimen organizado y explotación, se da cuenta de que se está adentrando en una época que los italianos, empezando por su propio padre y su suegro, el conde Orazio, tienen especial interés en ocultar. Los fantasmas del pasado son enemigos más peligrosos de lo que cabe imaginar. Willfull Behavior by Donna Leon is Book #11 of the Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery series. This is an insightful, interesting title which begins when Italian Police Detective Guido Brunetti delves into 2 deaths and a dark (very dark) and painful (very painful) era of Italian history. An excellent read. **** Guido Brunetti is back again. He is walking and thinking. While he investigates a young woman's murder, he goes home to spend time with Paola, his wife. Not to go unnoticed are the good meals she cooks. Her literary thoughts and food lead him back to the watery streets of Venice. As Guido Brunetti explores what he discovers, we meet the neighbors. One person is very eccentric. For Signorina Jacobs, there is cigarettes and Art. She bothers no one. She lives one day at a time. If you thinks she has not lived, think about World War II and do as Guido Brunetti does, look at her wall of photos. She is also an adopted Grandmother. The love story is there. Where? On the wall. Who did it is not easy to figure out. The ending is a wowser. How Brunetti put all the pieces together is mind staggering. Waiting to see what he is up to next makes your heart beat faster. Donna Leon is a Master Mystery Author. Never leave her until you finish her. no reviews | add a review
