ReviewsPraise for Donna Leon''s Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries: "This endlessly enjoyable series, with its deep thoughts about justice and vengeance and charming classical allusions, can''t help making you smile." --Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review "[Leon] has never become perfunctory, never failed to give us vivid portraits of people and of Venice, never lost her fine, disillusioned indignation." --Ursula K. LeGuin, New York Times "You become so wrapped up in these compelling characters . . . Each one is better than the last." --Louise Erdrich, PBS NewsHour "Few detective writers create so vivid, inclusive, and convincing a narrative as Donna Leon . . . One of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever." --Washington Post "The sophisticated but still moral Brunetti, with his love of food and his loving family, proves a worthy custodian of timeless values and verities." --Wall Street Journal "[Leon] uses the relatively small and crime-free canvas of Venice for rips about Italian life, sexual styles and--best of all--the kind of ingrown business and political corruption that seems to lurk just below the surface." --Chicago Tribune "Hers is an unusually potent cocktail of atmosphere and event." --New Yorker "For those who know Venice, or want to, Brunetti is a well-versed escort to the nooks, crannies, moods, and idiosyncrasies of what residents call La Serenissima, the Serene One . . . Richly atmospheric, [Leon] introduces you to the Venice insiders know." --USA Today "Donna Leon is the undisputed crime fiction queen . . . Leon''s ability to capture the social scene and internal politics [of Venice] is first-rate." --Baltimore Sun "Terrific at providing, through its weary but engaging protagonist, a strong sense of the moral quandaries inherent in Italian society and culture." --San Francisco Chronicle "Brunetti is one of the most attractive policemen in crime fiction today." --Philadelphia Inquirer "As always, Brunetti is highly attuned to (and sympathetic toward) the failings of the humans around him." --Seattle Times "Leon''s writing trembles with true feeling." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "Leon started out with offhand, elegant excellence, and has simply kept it up." --Guardian "Compassionate yet incorruptible, Brunetti knows that true justice doesn''t always end in an arrest or a trial." --Publishers Weekly "[Brunetti] is a superb police detective--calm, deliberate, and insightful as he investigates with a reflective thoroughness." --Library Journal "The appeal of Guido Brunetti, the hero of Donna Leon''s long-running Venetian crime series, comes not from his shrewdness, though he is plenty shrewd, nor from his quick wit. It comes, instead, from his role as an Everyman . . . [his life is] not so different from our own days at the office or nights around the dinner table. Crime fiction for those willing to grapple with, rather than escape, the uncertainties of daily life." --Booklist "It''s difficult to describe the work of Donna Leon other than in superlatives . . . An annual blessing, a fine series--one of the finest (see what I mean) in the mystery (or any) genre . . . There are few reading joys that equal cracking the binding of a new Leon novel . . . If you have not experienced this world, so exotic and yet so familiar, you can pick up literally any volume in the series and begin a comfortable entry into Brunetti''s Venice." --BookReporter "One of the most popular crime series worldwide . . . While the Brunetti books, with their abundance of local color and gastronomic treats, appeal to the fans of the traditional mystery, Leon has something darker and deeper in mind." --Life Sentence "No author has delved into Venetian society quite like Leon, whose insider''s view shows how crime seeps throughout the city, touching all strata of society." --Mystery Scene

Synopsis**An Instant New York Times Bestseller** Brunetti is forced to confront the price of loyalty, to his past and in his work, as a seemingly innocent request leads him into troubling waters What role can or should loyalty play in the life of a police inspector? It's a question Commissario Guido Brunetti must face and ultimately answer in Give unto Others , Donna Leon's splendid thirty-first installment of her acclaimed Venetian crime series. Brunetti is approached for a favor by Elisabetta Foscarini, a woman he knows casually, but her mother was good to Brunetti's mother, so he feels obliged to at least look into the matter privately, and not as official police business. Foscarini's son-in-law, Enrico Fenzo, has alarmed his wife (her daughter) by confessing their family might be in danger because of something he's involved with. Since Fenzo is an accountant, Brunetti logically suspects the cause of danger is related to the finances of a client. Yet his clients seem benign: an optician, a restaurateur, a charity established by his father-in-law. However, when his friend's daughter's place of work is vandalized, Brunetti asks his own favors--that his colleagues Claudia Griffoni, Lorenzo Vianello, and Signorina Elettra Zorzi assist his private investigation, which soon enough turns official as they uncover the dark and Janus-faced nature of a venerable Italian institution. Exploring the wobbly line between the criminal and non-criminal, revealing previously untold elements of Brunetti's past, Give unto Others shows that the price of reciprocity can be steep.
