DRAWING CONCLUSIONS

Commissario Guido Brunetti, of Venice, returns to solve his twentieth mystery. Who murdered Costanza Altavilla, a 60-year-old retired teacher, and why? David Colacci’s deep, lightly accented voice describes the beauty and decay of the floating city, along with its winding canals and disturbing crimes. As Brunetti peels back the layers of Senora Altavilla’s life, he eventually discovers she helped women escape domestic violence. The story requires the listener’s full attention as the clues unfold in Colacci’s subtle performance. Colacci shines as Leon lays out the intricacies of Brunetti’s investigation.
