By its Cover by Donna Leon Book Summary
The peace of a Venice library is shattered by the murder of a patron in the New York Times–bestselling series starring “a superb police detective” (Library Journal).
A Seattle Times Best Mystery and Crime Novel of the Year
One afternoon, Commissario Guido Brunetti gets a frantic call from the director of a prestigious Venetian library. Someone has stolen pages out of several rare books. After a round of questioning, the case seems clear: the culprit must be the man who requested the volumes, an American professor from a Kansas university. The only problem—the man fled the library earlier that day, and after they check his credentials, it seems the American professor doesn’t exist.
As the investigation proceeds, the suspects multiply. And when a seemingly harmless theologian who’d spent years reading at the library turns up brutally murdered, Brunetti must question his expectations about what makes a man innocent or guilty.
“Leon offers a finely drawn tale that encompasses theft, blackmail, emotional violence, and murder, as well as a rich array of characters [and] compellingly combines their workaday crime-solving with a detailed picture of a vanishing Venice.” —The Boston Globe
“Above all, Brunetti is a careful reader, of people, of places, of situations, and he never stops at surface meanings. That’s why we bookish types adore him the way we do, and why this will likely be one of his most-loved adventures.” —Booklist, starred review

Compelling story but…. The author is great when telling the reader about the issues Italy faces - the theft and destruction of valuable centuries-old books, for one . But the reader should be warned that the author hates anything that is Christian and faith-filled. She mixes the corrupt Italian government, the Mafia and the Catholic Church into one giant stew of evil. She lets you know in every book in this series that she hates the church and she thinks believers are stupid sheep.
A slow read. I generally like the Brunetti mysteries but found this one to be bit slow. Many pages were spent on conversation without much action.
