Uniform Justice is Book #12 of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series written by Donna Leon. Silence surrounds a cadet’s death at an elite military academy. “ Detective Commissario Guido Brunetti has been called to investigate a parent’s worst nightmare. A young cadet has been found hanged, a presumed suicide, in Venice’s elite military academy.” This series is very interesting to read. The passionate Commissario Brunetti, the city of Venice, Brunetti’s family, the food, the wine, the weather, the plots and characters - each story is its own morality play. A highly recommended series and title. **** I'm reading these books in order as much as possible, and this is the most depressing of the series so far. Uniform Justice. (A Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery). Donna Leone. 2003. I usually love Leone’s books. This one had everything I love about the books: snide comments about government corruption, mouth-watering descriptions of Italian food and drink, and repartee between Brunetti and his wife; however the ending was disappointing. Brunetti must determine if the death of a cadet at an elite military institute is suicide or murder, and he does, but the book ends abruptly. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” and all of that stuff
A powerful indictment of an Italian society in which “scandal had the same shelf life as fresh fish: by the third day, both were worthless; one because it had begun to stink, the other because it no longer did.” This is an outstanding book, deserving of the widest audience possible, a chance for American readers to again experience a master practitioner's art. Belongs to SeriesCommissario Brunetti (12)
