Unto Us a Son Is Given by Donna Leon
SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLD DAGGER AWARDThe latest bestselling Venice crime novel from celebrated author Donna LeonAs a favour to his wealthy father-in-law, the Count Falier, Commissario Guido Brunetti agrees to investigate the seemingly innocent wish of the Counts best friend, the elderly and childless Gonzalo, to adopt a younger man as his son.
Leon’s novels are unshowy and imbued with the humanist outlook that makes Brunetti such an appealing character* Sunday Times *
[A] charming series, and it is a pleasure to spend time with Brunetti, his academic wife, Paola, and their children as they eat delicious food and drink good wine. * Literary Review *
Once again, Leon transforms what might have been a straightforward mystery into something much richer and more resonant ... Far more than whodunit, the real subject of this novel (and Leon's work in general) is what we all do to one another. * Booklist *
Just as exciting as anything by Lee Child or Jeffrey Deaver. * Evening Standard *
Atmospheric, clever, witty and amusing. If I were only allowed to read one crime series again it would be that of Donna Leon. * The Times *
