And even more so when this body is presented as a transvestite prostitute! All Venice is in an uproar! Donna Leon returns triumphantly in another of her ...             In Sicilian Company2 reviews Argentina Brunetti BearManor Media, 2005 The perfect Holiday gift for readers of all ages "In Sicilian Company" is a delight! It's a Wonderful Life" actress and journalist, 98 year old Argentina Brunetti's, long awaited bio novel spans three generations of her theatrical family, taking us around the world and back in time over one hundred and fifty years ago and fast fowards us through the years with incredible stories involving some the most famous and infamous personages of ...             Death in a Strange Country19 reviews Donna Leon HarperCollins Publishers, 1993 Donna Leon Enthusiast I spent time in Venice this summer and to prepare bought one of Donna Leon's Inspector Brunetti mysteries. That was all it took to hook me- I am now reading the series in order and loving every minute. Death in a Strange Country is the second book in the series. While Leon's books don't have to be read in order, it does add to the enjoyment to follow the characters as they develop.             The Perfect Daughter (Commissario Brunetti Novels)1 review Gillian Linscott BBC Audiobooks, 2002 an exciting and enjoyable read I'm an unabashed feminist, and the Nell Bray mystery series is definitely one of my favourites. Gillian Linscott is absolutely brilliant at mixing politics, a socio-historical commentary of early 20th century England, with a mystery plot. And this latest Nell Bray mystery, "The Perfect Daughter" does not disappoint at all. It's the summer of 1914, and Nell Bray is, as usual, busy fighting for the ...             Dressed for Death (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries)12 reviews Donna Leon Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005 An Ironic Murder Mystery Triggers Probing Questions Leading to New Insights With Dressed for Death (originally titled as The Anonymous Venetian), the Guido Brunetti mysteries reach their full power for the first time. As with Donna Leon's earlier books, Dressed for Death features a corpse that's prepared and deposited to create maximum confusion for the police. That tiny fragment of her style becomes a launching pad for much self-examination by readers about how others ...             An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories (Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, & True ...11 reviews Yale University Press, 2006 A change from the usual comic fare There is a stark difference between mainstream commercial graphic fiction and the alternative or independent variety featured here. The difference is between Michael Bay and Darren Aronofsky although maybe even Aronofsky is too commercial. In many cases it's the difference between Bay and a college film maker. The point is that mainstream comics are generally intended for safe consumption by a ...             Death at LA Fenice51 reviews Donna Leon Thorndike Press, 2003 Death at LaFenice Not your typical mystery book. The ending is not only a surprise, but a unique one. Enjoy!             A Sea of Troubles5 reviews Donna Leon Arrow Books Ltd, 2002 Leon puts us on the 'write' course! Donna Leon simply is a mesmerizing writer. No other author--and some do come close--approaches her today in terms of suspense, characterization, plot development, and social significance. In "Sea of Troubles," she continues her exceptional level of excellence. I could hardly wait for this edition (it's not available for some incredible reason in the States!)to arrive. Guido Brunetti has his ...             Homefront (Commissario Brunetti Novels) (Commissario Brunetti Novels)12 reviews Chuck Logan Chivers Sound Library, 2005 Could not put this book down!! Logan takes suspence to a new arena. One of the most intriging books I have read in quite some time. A real pleasure....             The Rules of Silence (Commissario Brunetti Novels)14 reviews David L. Lindsey BBC Audiobooks, 2003 Lindsey's approach to the "page turner" I've always had the feeling that David Lindsey was the "thinking man's" mystery/thriller writer. The reader was impressed at the writing skill and depth of the writer - the book HAD to be read slowly to appreciate the nuances he brought to the story, however gruesome the topic. Now he goes and writes something completely out of style: a book that grabs you from the first chapter and doesn't let ...             Death and Judgment14 reviews Donna Leon HarperCollins Publishers, 1995 A very vivid book. The first scene is of an accident involving a large carrier-truck in the mountains which, crashing, spills and kills its contents: the corpses of women lie in the snow, littering the mountainside like so many bright dolls. As in many Brunetti novels, justice does not light upon all the principal perpetrators of the worst crime, but on middlemen, illegally, some of whon you are glad to see go. ...             20,000 Leagues Under the Sea175 reviews Jules Verne Signet Classics, 2001 Excellent, Updated Translation For those rereading 20,000 Leagues under the Sea after many years of telling yourself it was time to read it again, you will find William Butcher' translation quite a surprise. Not only quite accurate but you find additional chapters, not found in earlier translations. The sixty pages of "Explanatory Notes" puts a whole new slant on the story.             Fatal Remedies11 reviews Donna Leon Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 Donna Leon does it again in Fatal Remedies She has me so hooked with her writings. I have the list and check off the ones I read so I am not constantly re reading her mysteries. I really enjoy each one but this one was a new twist on her story writing. She does not start out with the Commissario but instead his wife ! I enjoyed the twist and turns in her story line. It's not heavy reading and keeps me interested. And I love love love ...             Expo 20002 reviews Seth Westhampton House, 2000 An Excellent Book Except your credits are bit off. All of the editors you've listed are actually artists who contributed the art, comics and articles to the book. The editors of Expo 2000 were Tom Devlin, Chris Oarr, Christian Panas, Jeff Alexander, Karon Flage, Greg McElhatton and Charles Brownstein. The book is an annual anthology produced by the Expo/SPX in conjunction with the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund as ...             Acting Songs6 reviews David Brunetti BookSurge Publishing, 2006 This book is the best I've read on this subject! I am a musical theatre performer who has recently returned to show biz after taking a number of years off to have kids, etc. I have always been an actress with a great voice but have seriously fallen into the habit of "winging it" at auditions and not REALLY fully engaging myself in the words, just touching on the surface, and while giving "natural" performances, probably ones that have lacked ...             Acqua Alta10 reviews Donna Leon HarperCollins Publishers, 1996 Donna Leon fans should rush to Amazon.co.uk! "Aqua Alta" is another splendid, can't-put-it-down engagement with Guido Brunetti. I despaired of reading any more of Donna Leon's fine prose and carefully crafted plots when notified last year that publication had been cancelled of a forthcoming book. Led by a note in another review, I checked out Amazon.co.uk, where I found "Death of Faith," "A Noble Radiance," and the book I just finished, ...             Love, Again (Commissario Brunetti Novels)12 reviews Doris May Lessing BBC Audiobooks, 1991 Melancholy and Romantic "Love, Again" is one of Doris Lessing's "later" novels and it focuses on an older protagonist caught in the snares of romantic love. Sarah Durham is sixty-five and describes herself as not having been in love in decades. All that changes when she, the widow of a founding member of "The Green Bird," a successful London theatre company, decides to stage an avant-garde operatic play concerning the ...             A Noble Radiance12 reviews Donna Leon Center Point Large Print, 2004 Ken Le Huray Donna Leon's creation of Guido Brunetti detective of Venice is one of the great figures of the genre. His family and the city of Venice are equally realisic. "A Noble Radiance" is full of the corrupt and aristocratic background of that city. The interplay of characters in the story is first class.             Misery Loves Comedy4 reviews Ivan Brunetti Fantagraphics Books, 2007 Disturbingly brilliant! I have been a fan of Ivan Brunetti for many years and this compilation of his work is long overdue. He is not everyone's cup of tea and you definitely need a sick sense of humor to fully enjoy this book. I wish the publishers had included his other books, "Hee" and "Haw" to this collection. My only complaint is that Mr. Brunetti does not work at a fast enough pace to put out more material.
