Crime writing of the highest order * Guardian *

Few detective writers create so vivid, inclusive and convincing a narrative as Donna Leon, the expatriate American with the Venetian heart … One of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever * The Washington Post *

Leon started out with offhand, elegant excellence, and has simply kept it up * Guardian *
Donna Leon has been giving unto us for all of the thirty years since Death at La Fenice introduced us to Brunetti – Val McDermid
Leon’s elegant, witty prose … is a joy. One of the best European novelists around – Amanda Craig
