About

Follow Commissario Guido Brunetti, star of Donna Leon's international bestselling mystery series, on over a dozen walks that highlight Venice's churches, markets, bars, cafes, and palazzos.

In Brunetti's Venice, tourists and armchair travelers follow in the footsteps of Brunetti as he traverses the city he knows and loves. With his acute eye, fascination with history, ear for language, passion for food, and familiarity with the dark realities of crime and corruption, Brunetti is the perfect companion for any walk across La Serenissima.

Over a dozen walks, encompassing all six regions of Venice as well as the lagoon, lead readers down calli, over canali, and through campi. Important locations from the best-selling novels are highlighted and major themes and characters are explored, all accompanied by poignant excerpts from the novels. This is a must-have companion book for any lover of Donna Leon's wonderful mysteries.

Reviews

"Reading Leon has fueled a fantasy common to visitors in this secretive, surreally beautiful city: that somehow, despite your total lack of local credentials, you'll be invited through . . . 'the invisible door' between the tourist's Venice and the one where actual Venetians live. A minute ago you were an outsider with zero language skills and too little time. Now you're an intimate of Guido Brune
Bob Thompson, The Washington Post
"A good companion piece to [Leon's novels] . . . detailing a dozen walks that armchair travelers-or actual tourists-can take throughout all six regions of Venice and its lagoon, with maps as well as key locations and actual excerpts from the novels themselves to guide them through the churches, restaurants, markets, palazzos and canals referenced in the stories."
Tom and Enid Schantz, The Denver Post
"A splendid present for mystery-fiction fans, travel-lit buffs or anyone willing to pay a vicarious visit to semi-mean streets."
Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal
