Interpretation To Books Wilful Behaviour (Commissario Brunetti #11)

From the acclaimed author of The Waters of Eternal Youth, Commissario Guido Brunetti dredges up dark secrets from Italy's anti-Semitic past in his captivating eleventh case.

Mystery lovers everywhere are addicted to Donna Leon's ever-honorable Commissario Guido Brunetti and her portrayal of Venice's beautiful but sinister byways and canals. In Willful Behavior, Brunetti is approached for a favor by one of his wife's students. Intelligent and serious , Claudia Leonardo asks for his help in obtaining a pardon for a crime once committed by her now-dead grandfather. Brunetti thinks little of it-until Claudia is found dead. Soon, another corpse and an extraordinary art collection lead Brunetti to long-buried secrets of Nazi collaboration and the exploitation of Italian Jews-secrets few in Italy want revealed.

This book was eminently enjoyable, not only in its descriptions of Venice, where Donna Leon excels, but in its plot twists and turns. Her language encapsulates beautifully, leaving the reader within the mind of her main character, Guido Brunetti, Commissario of Police, aware of his personal flaws, yet always forgiving of this humane and sensitive man.She begins, as she usually does, with an ordinary situation rapidly becoming an unusual one. It leads us through Brunetti's involvement, his

I've long been a fan of Donna Leon, not just for the way she makes Venice such a lively, tactile place, but also for Brunetti, his family and colleagues. But in this book she's outdone herself. A story that starts simply and becomes labyrinthine. There's family and history, Venice and Italy, greed and lust and twisting around each other. And at the core, family and innocence betrayed, love and hate. To my taste, this is Leon at her very best, moving and affecting, yet also majestic. There's the

Claudia Leonardo is a student of English Literature at the university in Venice where Paolo Brunetti teaches. In class, Claudia is a very quiet young woman, seldom speaking, but the work that she presents to Professor Brunetti is exemplary.

Paolo surmises that anyone with such an appreciation of James must be extremely intelligent. Thus, when Claudia lingers after

Written before the writer started to decline in the series. A very good read.

Now that I've read 2/3rds of all the Brunetti series published before 2016, I have a good idea of what the pace, style, depth maintains for this bunch. There are times Donna Leon scales the heights in her insight and ability to peel down and more. Especially in those moments when Guido resounds within echoing thoughts his joy and gratitude of what he knows he holds. In this one, I got some of that, but much less than in the more recent volumes in the series. This is more toward "the front" and
