Margaret09 | Apr 15, 2024 |    ) cspiwak | Mar 6, 2024 | Silence surrounds a cadet’s death at an elite military academy. “ Detective Commissario Guido Brunetti has been called to investigate a parent’s worst nightmare. A young cadet has been found hanged, a presumed suicide, in Venice’s elite military academy.” This series is very interesting to read. The passionate Commissario Brunetti, the city of Venice, Brunetti’s family, the food, the wine, the weather, the plots and characters - each story is its own morality play. A highly recommended series and title. **** ( ) diana.hauser | Nov 26, 2023 |  ) muumi | Sep 28, 2023 |  ) judithrs | May 27, 2023 |
 A powerful indictment of an Italian society in which “scandal had the same shelf life as fresh fish: by the third day, both were worthless; one because it had begun to stink, the other because it no longer did.”  This is an outstanding book, deserving of the widest audience possible, a chance for American readers to again experience a master practitioner's art. Belongs to SeriesCommissario Brunetti (12)
When Venetian detective Commissario Guido Brunetti is called to investigate a presumed suicide in Venice's elite military academy, his inquiries are immediately met with a wall of silence. The young man is the son of a doctor and former politician, a man of an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics. Dr. Moro seems devastated by his son's death; but while both he and his apparently estranged wife seem convinced that the boy would not have committed suicide, neither appears eager to talk to the police or to involve Brunetti in any kind of investigation into their son's death. Is the silence that confronts Brunetti the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities, or is he facing a conspiracy far greater than this one death?
