The Waters of Eternal Youth - Donna Leon

He AND she read

I love Donna Leon's Guido Brunetti mysteries.  Set in Venice, Leon conveys so much about Venice is all about....the politics, the cynicism, the decaying beauty.  I feel that Brunetti and his family and associates are old friends.  Last time we were in Venice, I passed by the Questore fully expecting to encounter him and stopped at his favorite bar for a coffee.  Leon's books make me want to return to La Serenissima.
If you are a fan of Brunetti's, you will enjoy this work; if you haven't met him yet, you might enjoy reading the series from the beginning and getting to know the cast of characters.  A bit of a spoiler alert...sometimes Leon's novels end with one wondering if justice has been served....in this novel, it clearly has.
